The note then demanded the plane be rerouted from Seattle to “[a]ny other airport,” the complaint states. “This incident is to stay out of the news media until well after I have surrendered,” the note allegedly said.S.Y. told the captain and co-pilot, who contacted Air Traffic Control and Alaska Airlines Security Dispatch, the complaint states. The flight was subsequently diverted to Spokane International Airport, and Scott was arrested upon landing, according to the complaint. Officers from the Spokane PD Bomb Squad did not find any explosives or explosive materials aboard the aircraft.
Scott explained that he had considered other methods to get his flight diverted, such as assaulting a flight attendant or opening the cabin door, according to the complaint.
