The incident occurred on Tuesday, Oct. 16 when BIA dispatch was notified by Air Traffic Control of the disturbance on a flight due to land in about 10 minutes.

It was reported that United Flight 1887 from Denver had an intoxicated male passenger that was disrupting the flight attendants and other passengers, according to Connecticut State Police.

Levasseur was subsequently arrested and charged with Breach of Peace. He was held on a $7500.00 cash bond.
