Obnoxious iPad User on Plane Arrested

A man on a flight in Chicago was being a complete prick, in a situation that anyone with common sense would consider a fragile one. While on the ground, a flight attendant asked him to turn off his iPad, and he did, but turned it on right when she left. He asked for some alcohol, and the flight attendant said they don't serve it while the flight hasn't taken off yet. He took his iPad out again, and this time the flight attendant told him to put it away or they would turn the plane around and have the police deal with him, and then the captain over the intercom gave a warning about electronics on the plane, and the use of them after warnings being a federal offense. He continued his bad manners during the flight. He asked for alcohol again and they wouldn't give it to him, for obvious reasons, and he got angry, got out of his seat, and started walking behind the drink cart. At this point the captain intervened and told him to stop. When the plane landed, there were officers waiting for the man. Full story here.
