A Delta flight traveling from Atlanta to San Diego made an unplanned landing in Texas after a passenger began disrobing and had to be restrained.
One witness on the flight told San Diego’s NBC 7 she suspects drugs or alcohol may have been a factor in Saturday’s incident.
“He kept saying ‘I wanna go home, I wanna go home, I wanna see my family,’” according to traveler Rodelyn Kupfersmid.
Passengers reportedly spent 30 minutes trying to calm the the unidentified man as he took off his shirt while screaming. The flight crew then announced that DL731 was being diverted to Dallas-Fort Worth roughly two hours into the trip.
Authorities reportedly removed the man from the aircraft without incident once the plane landed. The flight continued to California after a 90-minute delay and safely reached its destination.
“Delta has zero tolerance for unruly behavior as safety for our customers and crew always comes first,” a Delta representative said in a statement to the Daily News. “We thank our customers for their patience, and we apologize for the delay in their travels.”
It’s unclear if any charges have been filed against the disruptive passenger.

What is It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia about?
For those who have yet to check out the long-running series, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia follows ‘The Gang’ which includes owners of the unsuccessful Paddy’s Pub. The group of degenerates loves nothing more than to scheme, conspire, and mostly revel in each other’s misery.
Whether gaming the welfare system, impersonating officers, or faking funerals, the gang never stoops too low in the name of making a buck.
Season 17 kicks off with a bang as the hit comedy series teams up with another popular comedy series, Abbott Elementary.
The season 17 premiere episode picks up months after the gang visited Abbott Elementary, and Abbott’s Principal Ava (Janelle James) walks viewers through some of the unseen footage of the gang’s volunteerism and reveals their true intentions.

Travelers at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport can attest to it.
Birmingham comedian Roy Wood Jr. saw it, but he still seems skeptical.
On June 27, Wood, host of CNN’s “Have I Got News for You,” tweeted out his observations on a vending machine at BHM.
“This gotta be the most Birmingham s**t I’ve ever seen in my life,” he can be heard saying on an accompanying video. “A barbecue sandwich machine? I don’t know about that one there, big dog…”
“Folks call Birmingham country and I get pissed and defend my city. Then as soon as I touch down at the airport, I see a barbecue sammich vending machine,” Wood posted with the video on Twitter.
For any skeptics, the machine was announced last December as one of several by LBX Food Robotics.
The company’s Bake Xpress hot food kiosk was deployed by partner Nancy Harkey Enterprises at the airport in TSA checkpoints, baggage claim and food court locations.
The machines also serve pastries, sandwiches and Italian foods and pizzas.
According to the company, it delivers the food hot through a smart oven that combines convection, infrared and microwave to custom bake food on demand.
“Because the oven actually bakes foods, the machine delivers high quality results that microwave alone cannot achieve,” the company announced in a news release.
Wood remained unconvinced a day later:
Birmingham-Shuttlesworth Airport responded on Tuesday, suggesting another course of action:

Sean “Diddy” Combs will be sentenced in his federal criminal case on Oct. 3, a judge said Tuesday after probation officials rejected the defense and prosecution’s plan to move the date up by about two weeks.
Combs, who remains jailed after a split verdict last week, spoke briefly to his lawyer Marc Agnifilo during a virtual hearing on the scheduling issue that lasted all of two minutes. At one point he asked the lawyer to turn on his camera so they could see each other’s faces.
The hip-hop mogul’s lawyers had been urging Judge Arun Subramanian to sentence him as soon as possible after jurors acquitted him last week on racketeering and sex trafficking but convicted him on two prostitution-related charges.
Combs, 55, faces up to a decade in prison for each of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution for flying people around the country, including his girlfriends and male sex workers, for sexual encounters. A conviction on racketeering conspiracy or sex trafficking could have put him in prison for life.
Prior to Tuesday’s hearing, Combs’ lawyers and prosecutors filed a joint letter proposing a Sept. 22 sentencing date, subject to the consent of the U.S. Probation Office. A short time later, they filed a second letter stating that all parties — including the probation office — were on board with the Oct. 3 date Subramanian originally proposed.
Combs got a standing ovation from fellow inmates when he returned to jail after the verdict last week, Agnifilo said. The Bad Boy Records founder will remain at the federal lockup in Brooklyn where he’s been held since his arrest last September after Subramanian last week rejected his request for bail.
The judge, citing a now-infamous video of Combs beating a former girlfriend and photographs showing injuries to another ex-girlfriend, made clear that he plans to hold Combs accountable for the years of violence and bullying behavior that were exposed at his eight-week trial.
Combs’ lawyers want less than the 21 to 27 months in prison that they believe the sentencing guidelines recommend. Prosecutors contend that the guidelines, when properly calculated to include Combs’ crimes and violent history, call for at least four to five years in prison.
Combs’ punishment is Subramanian’s decision alone, and the judge will have wide latitude in determining a sentence. While judges often adhere to the federal judiciary’s formulaic guidelines meant to prevent disparity in sentences for the same crimes, they are not mandatory.
As part of the sentencing process, Combs must give an interview to probation officers for a pre-sentence investigation report that will aid the judge in determining the proper punishment.

Sgt. Rich Evans of the Eagan (Minnesota) Police Department said an investigation had identified “several suspects,” but less than $2,500 of the stolen money had been recovered, Paul Walsh of the Star Tribune reported.
Citing a search warrant affidavit filed in Dakota County (Minnesota) District Court that allowed investigators to have access to financial records at the Eagan branch of JP Morgan Chase Bank, Walsh reported Turner received a call on Feb. 19 from a JP Morgan Chase banker about someone impersonating the linebacker at a bank branch in Arizona. But the imposter was the caller, who directed Turner to transfer money to two business accounts to prevent the attempted theft of funds.
At the bank branch in Eagan, Turner transferred $120,000 to Island Food Truck LLC and $120,000 to CNL FL LLC that day before becoming suspicious.
The 17th player picked in the 2024 NFL Draft, Turner signed a four-year contract with Minnesota that included an $8.287 million signing bonus and a base salary of $795,000 in the 2024 season.
In his first NFL season, Turner had 20 tackles, three sacks, three tackles for loss, five quarterback hits and one interception. He played 300 of the Vikings’ 1,135 defensive snaps behind Pro Bowl outside linebackers Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkle in 2024.
Minesota’s veteran players report for training camp on July 22. The Vikings kick off their preseason schedule on Aug. 9 against the Houston Texans.

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville has called for Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to be arrested, a move which a Department of Homeland Security officials says is “on the table.”
On Monday, federal immigration agents along with California National Guard troops arrived at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles and began marching through the park as children attending a summer camp played.
Bass responded to the park and a post on X shows her talking on the phone with Gregory Bovino, a Customs and Border Protection chief in Southern California, according to The New York Times.
Bovino assures her that he would get the federal agents out of the park.
Bass then tells media that the agents, “need to leave because this is unacceptable.”
No one was arrested during the show of force.
Tuberville made a post on X saying to “Lock her up” in reference to the video of Bass calling for the federal immigration agents to leave MacArthur Park.
But during an interview with Fox News Monday night, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, said that arresting Bass was, “on the table,” if she attempted to intervene in immigration raids.
The raids are likely to increase as Bovino stated on X, “We may well go back to MacArthur Park or other places in and around Los Angeles.”
Los Angeles is home to an abundant immigrant population and, according to a 2020 study, has about 900,000 undocumented immigrants that have lived in the country for at least 10 years.
President Donald Trump’s marquee bill that recently passed dubbed, The One Big Beautiful Bill, allocates over $170 billion to immigration and border enforcement funding.
“What I saw in [MacArthur Park] today looked like a city under siege, under armed occupation,” Bass told reporters Monday. “It’s the way a city looks before a coup.”

Huntsville police have charged a man with second degree human trafficking after investigators said he manipulated a woman into “sexual servitude” with promises of improving her life.
Sgt. Chris Jackson of Huntsville police said Michael McDougal, 64, was arrested following complaints.
According to Jackson, McDougal appeared to be offering support services for people “in vulnerable situations.”
However, Jackson said McDougal had “manipulated a victim into a situation of sexual servitude by falsely promising to help her improve her life.”
He was arrested on July 2 after the investigation’s results were presented to the Madison County District Attorney’s Office.
McDougal is being held in the Madison County Jail on $250,500 bond.
A hearing is scheduled for July 16.

National civil rights attorney Ben Crump has joined to fight for any footage to be released in the killing of a beloved Alabama teen who was shot to death by police in a Homewood city soccer park.
Crump, known for his work on cases such as the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, was joined by Birmingham attorneys Leroy Maxwell and Rodney Barganier, Black Lives Matter and other community activists at a Tuesday press conference.
Crump said he is getting involved because 18-year-old Jabari Peoples was doing everything right in life when he was shot to death June 23.
Peoples was a 2024 graduate of Aliceville High School where he was standout track athlete and football player.
Peoples had just finished his freshman year at Alabama A & M where he was studying computer information and criminal justice with hopes of becoming a law enforcement officer, specifically a detective.
He had no prior arrests, Crump said.
“There’s nothing in his history that would suggest that he’s going to try to shoot a police officer,” Crump said.
“This is a tragedy of unimaginable circumstances,” Crump said.
“His mother and father should be given a gold medal for the child that they were raising.”

Maxwell said he’s thankful Crump is joining the legal team.
“In all this tragedy, today is actually a good day,” Maxwell said. “I’m glad we brought in a big gun. We needed it here.”
“One of the things he brings is that coalition,” Maxwell said.
“(The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency) typically acts in a certain way and oftentimes they won’t release these videos under pressure, but they haven’t felt pressure like this in what attorney Crump brings to the table.”
Homewood police say a veteran officer, who has not been publicly identified, approached the vehicle to investigate because of a recent increase in criminal activity in and around the city’s athletic complexes.
The officer, police say, smelled marijuana and ordered Peoples and his female friend out of the vehicle.
Police say the encounter ended with Peoples resisting, breaking away from the officer as he tried to handcuff him, and grabbing a gun from the driver’s side door pocket.
The officer shot Peoples, who was pronounced dead a short time later at UAB Hospital.
Peoples’ family and attorney Maxwell disagreed with that narrative, saying that Peoples wasn’t armed and didn’t resist.
The Homewood Police Department turned the investigation over to ALEA, which is standard policy for many officer-involved shootings.
ALEA denied the family’s request to see the footage, saying release of the video footage would jeopardize the ongoing investigation.

There have been several protests following the fatal shooting, including at the Homewood Police Department, ALEA’s office in west Homewood, Homewood City Hall and during the World Police and Fire Games last week in the Birmingham area.
Though Alabama state provides a way for families to view body camera and dash cam videos, the same law also allows law enforcement to withhold the footage for investigative purposes.
Crump said he is grateful for all lawyers who take up the mantle to fight against injustice, to fight against the system for people who others think can be swept under the rug.
“You won’t sweep Jabari Peoples under the rug,” Crump said.
“His family is just asking for answers. Is that so much to ask for?” he said.
“Your 18-year-old son who’s never convicted of any crime, he’s never even been arrested, was doing everything right that you would want for a child and he’s killed by the police, the people who are supposed to protect and serve him. Wouldn’t you want answers?”
The attorneys said trust and transparency are on the line.
“This is very straightforward,” Maxwell said.
“If we’re about trust and transparency, honoring Jabari and his family, honoring the community and honoring the relationship that we want so deeply with law enforcement, it is necessary to release the footage.
“This is not a hard investigation,” Crump said. “I mean, you got a video, you got an autopsy and you got an eyewitness. It shouldn’t take you a year to finish this investigation.”
“Show the video. You can shut all of us up, shut me up, shut Black Lives Matter up, shut up attorney Maxwell, shut up (community activist) Frank Matthews, shut up everybody,” Crump said.
“Show us the officer did nothing wrong. Show us that it was justified.”
“If the officer did nothing wrong, we’ll be quiet,” Crump said.
“We won’t say a word. But if he did something inappropriate, then we want justice for Jabari.”
Crump said the family is seeking to have a private autopsy done before Peoples’ funeral which is set for Saturday at Aliceville City Hall.
“Because we don’t have the autopsy from the medical examiner, the family has to go through extraordinary lengths to have an independent autopsy performed before the funeral and that’s exactly what they are going to do because we need to know,” he said.
“We know the cause of death was a gunshot, we want to know the trajectory, the point of entry, the point of exit.”
Peoples’ parent, siblings and other family members joined Crump at the press conference at Friendship Baptist Church in Homewood and spoke of their slain son.
“He had a lot of dreams, and he was willing to work for those dreams,” his mother, Vivian Sterling, said.
“Sometimes I thought he wanted to do too many things. He’d pass the airport and say, ‘Mama, I’m going to get my pilot’s license, but I don’t know if I’m going to do it before or after I go into the military.’”
“He wanted three different degrees, computer engineering, electrical engineering, criminal justice,” Sterling said. “He wanted to do all sorts of things, and he knew he could do it.”
“Jabari was one of the brightest kids, one of the loveliest kids,” father William Peoples said. “We don’t know how we’re going to go on without Jabari but we’re going to fight for Jabari until our last breath.”
Crump said the fight is far from over.
“We refuse to be well-behaved victims,” he said. “Jabari is going to continue to be a priority for us.”
