Airport and law enforcement officials said that 24-year- old Jerry Ba Nguyen, of San Jose, California, was taken to a local hospital and then to the Lubbock County jail and charged with making terror threats.

An arrest affidavit said he threatened other passengers but gave few details. Airline spokesman Ross Feinstein said the flight continued to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport after a delay of about an hour in Lubbock.
