UPDATE Passenger identified after becoming violent midflight, forcing emergency landing in Salt Lake City
Virgin Atlantic Flight 141 was flying from London and scheduled to land in Los Angeles, but was diverted to Salt Lake City International Airport instead at 4:30 p.m.
United Kingdom resident William Stephen Hayes, 39, was forced to be physically detained by flight crew members and other passengers after he became violent mid-flight. Salt Lake City police said Hayes kicked airplane seats and windows during the flight, and allegedly assaulted a member of the flight crew and another passenger while being restrained.
After landing in Salt Lake City, Hayes was removed from the plane and taken to the Salt Lake County Metro Jail and booked on federal detention hold. “Due to a disruptive passenger onboard flight VS141 operating from London Heathrow to Los Angeles on Tuesday 26 July, the aircraft diverted to Salt Lake City to be met by police authorities. The safety and wellbeing of our customers and crew is always our top priority and we don’t tolerate any behaviour that compromises this," the airline wrote in a statement.

Chili Salt Makes These Tamarind Popsicles a Grown-Up TreatPelon Pelo Rico is a sticky, tamarind-flavored candy paste spiked with chile and salt. It’s the kind of messy, goopy, and shameless treat only a child can love, but I’ll always be hooked on the combo of spicy, sour, salty, and sweet. These popsicles are inspired by the flavors of Pelon Pelo Rico, but all grown up with real tamarind concentrate, nutty palm sugar, and a sharp hit of tang from malic acid.
