A United Airlines flight en route to New Jersey was forced to turn back to Las Vegas Saturday night following a passenger disturbance that prompted a security response. The Boeing 737, carrying 150 passengers and six crew members, had just crossed into Arizona airspace when the decision was made to return to Harry Reid International Airport. The airline confirmed the return was prompted by a “potential security concern,” noting that the delay was extended overnight due to crew timeout before the flight eventually departed for Newark Sunday morning.
On Monday, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department identified the individual responsible for the disruption as Dante Milne, 25. According to a department release, officers were called to the airport regarding a person who made terroristic threats aboard the aircraft. The statement confirmed that the airplane turned around and landed safely, and that the individual was detained without incident. Milne was subsequently booked into the Clark County Detention Center on a charge of making a threat related to an act of terrorism. He posted a surety bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
Flight tracking data indicates the aircraft departed its origin gate just after 10:37 p.m. Saturday, reached the Arizona border area, and returned to the Las Vegas airport, touching down just before midnight. The flight eventually pushed back from its gate for Newark just after 7 a.m. Sunday. The incident remains under investigation, and authorities have not released further details regarding the nature of the specific threats made during the flight.
