A US man has been charged with giving false information and threats after saying he had a bomb in his backpack on a US domestic flight, triggering emergency procedures, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Mark Michael Bote, 23, appeared nervous and was shaking and "rocking back and forth" in his seat last Friday on a flight from Knoxville, Tennessee to Denver, Colorado.
"One passenger noticed Bote had his eyes closed .. A second passenger also noticed that Bote looked nervous, and that his eyes were glazed over," said United States Attorney for the District of Colorado, John F Walsh.
