Passenger accused of groping flight attendant and trashing restroom

  

(12/14/06 - KTRK/HOUSTON) (KTRK) -- A man accused of causing a big disturbance on a flight to Houston is expected in federal court.

Nboru Akao is accused of groping a flight attendant and trashing a restroom while on a flight from Honolulu to Houston Wednesday. During the last two and a half hours of the seven hour flight, Akao allegedly became disruptive, combative and eventually had to be restrained with flex cuffs to prevent his increasingly aggressive behavior.

Akao was arrested when the flight landed at Bush Intercontinental Airport. If indicted by a federal grand jury with the interfering with a flight attendant charge, Akao faces a maximum of 20 years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine and a three-year term of supervised release upon conviction.
