Grand Valley man grounds Jet Airways international flight

A Grand Valley man faces multiple charges after an international flight from Toronto to Brussels, Belgium was grounded in Newfoundland on Monday night (June 4).
At about 11 p.m., officers with the Gander/Lewisporte District detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) received a complaint regarding an unruly passenger abroad Jet Airways flight 229.
According to police, the 39-year-old male, who had been drinking on the flight, became intoxicated and began using obscene language when the flight crew refused to serve him more liquor.
Police said the man then attempted to enter the cockpit to speak with the flight’s captain, forcing the flight crew to physically stop him.
As a result, the flight was diverted to Gander, Newfoundland, where the accused was arrested and removed from the aircraft. Varinder Sood, 39, of Grand Valley, has been charged with mischief, causing a disturbance, and interfering with the flight of an aircraft. He appeared in Newfoundland court on Tuesday and will remain in custody until a bail hearing on Wednesday (June 6).
