Man who said he planned to visit Trump arrested for alleged assault on flight to Washington
CNN— A man who told investigators he was flying to Washington, DC, to speak to President Donald Trump was arrested by the FBI after he allegedly attacked a passenger and threatened a flight attendant onboard an American Airlines flight. Asterius Mutayoba Rulamka, who holds a Texas driver’s license, was flying from Wichita, Kansas, to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport last week when he became unruly and violent just before landing, according to an FBI affidavit obtained by CNN. On the plane’s final descent, Rulamka left his assigned seat and moved to the back of the plane, where he started yelling and swearing at a flight attendant, the affidavit said. “Three passengers and the flight attendants were able to secure Rulamka for landing in a seat near his original seat,” the affidavit said. Upon arrival, Rulamka told FBI officials he had come to DC to speak to Trump, stating he was “mad,” the document said, without specifying further.
