Duct-taped Plane Passenger Incident

According to Cahn, he and Lundeen had been talking about their religious views before the conversation took a turn.

Speaking to ABC following the incident, Juan Mejia, a former law enforcement officer and one of the flight’s passengers who helped restrain Lundeen, said that he had allegedly “made derogatory remarks to the staff of American Airlines and other passengers – racial slurs, vulgar language, very offensive to the women.”

In a court hearing the following day, Lundeen said; “I don’t remember any of what happened,” according to a recording recently reviewed by the Baltimore Banner.

Juan Mejia, a retired police officer who was on the flight, and Richard Olenick, a store manager, reportedly restrained Lundeen with duct tape around his wrists, head and body to tie him to the seat.
