- A passenger onboard a Frontier Airlines flight from Puerto Rico to Chicago was arrested after he allegedly choked an off-duty employee.
Police also allege the suspect tried to open the emergency exit doors of the plane and attempted to enter the cockpit during the disturbance on the flight, which was headed to Chicago on Sunday.
According to the FAA, the flight made an emergency landing in Miami, and the passenger was taken into federal custody. Frontier Airlines confirmed the flight then made the rest of the trip to Chicago without further incident.
A criminal complaint obtained by NBC News alleges the 51-year-old suspect had told flight attendants he wanted to get off the plane, then tried to open the rear exit door of the plane.

- Union Pacific's Big Boy No. 4014 will stop Wednesday in West Chicago at the Union Pacific Training Center as part of the one-million pound train's first-ever northeast tour.
"As the world’s largest operating steam locomotive—and the only one of the eight remaining Big Boys still in operation—this is a rare opportunity to see railroading history up close," Union Pacific said.
The train will be on display from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Union Pacific Center in the western suburb, according to organizers. Some may even have the chance to catch a glimpse of the huge, "legend on rails" when it glides into town Tuesday.
While the event is free, it is expected to draw large crowds, traffic impacts and even some street closures, the city of West Chicago said.
