Man accused of slapping Delta flight attendant’s buttocks is hit with federal charge

A Delta flight from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles was diverted to Atlanta after a passenger allegedly slapped a flight attendant’s buttocks and was detained.
The passenger reportedly admitted touching her to get attention but denied using force; he’s now federally charged with interfering with flight crew.
Delta says it has “zero tolerance” for unruly behavior and is cooperating with law enforcement.
