CNN —An Alaska Airlines passenger accused of attacking another traveler with pens wrapped in rubber bands in late January has been charged in federal court with assault with a dangerous weapon, according to court documents filed in the US District Court of Nevada on Wednesday.
Lopez is scheduled to be arraigned in federal court in Las Vegas on March 1, court documents said.
The other passenger, who was seated across the aisle from Lopez, is a sworn law enforcement officer, court documents say.
He also said that he felt the mafia had been chasing him for months, court documents said.
One witness described Lopez as “fidgety” and said he was putting on and taking off gloves during the flight, court documents said.
