A Canadian man’s layover in Florida turned into a federal case after he attacked two Transportation Security Administration officers at Miami International Airport in a chaotic outburst caught on video.
Cameron Dylan McDougall, 28, of Toronto, pleaded guilty in federal court earlier this month to two counts of assaulting, resisting or impeding federal officers, according to court records.
The trouble began Dec. 27, when McDougall allegedly struck a fellow passenger aboard a Copa Airlines flight traveling from Panama City to Toronto.
According to reporting from Local 10 News, the midair altercation prompted the pilot to divert the flight to Miami, where McDougall was removed from the plane but not arrested.
Instead, he was told he could book another flight back to Canada. McDougall purchased a ticket on Air Canada for the following day.
But as he prepared to board that flight at MIA the morning of Dec. 28, he once again lashed out, this time in the airport.
