A Southwest Airlines passenger traveling from Chicago to Las Vegas on Saturday allegedly became so unruly that the jet was diverted to Denver so he could be arrested, a U.S. attorney's spokesman said.

Andy Osuna, 29, is expected to make an appearance today in federal district court in Denver, said Jeffrey Dorschner, the U.S. attorney's spokesman. Osuna is accused of interference with a flight crew.

According to CBS 4 News, Osuna allegedly choked another passenger and harassed a woman during the flight.

Allegedly, other passengers were pushed and two flight attendants were groped by Osuna.
