GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) - The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Colorado announced the Los Angeles man who diverted a flight on Wednesday to Grand Junction was charged by criminal complaint for the incident.

The complaint says David Leroy Carver Jr., 47, allegedly interfered with flight crew members and attendants on a Breeze Airways flight from Norfolk, Virginia, to Los Angeles. Carver reportedly made inappropriate sexual comments and racial slurs toward a flight attendant during the flight.
