A Florida man who wielded a wine bottle in a brawl with flight attendants and passengers as he tried to open the door of a Delta Air Lines flight from Seattle to China has pleaded guilty to four felony charges.
The Seattle Times reports 24-year-old Joseph Hudek IV entered the plea Friday in U.S. court in Seattle to one count of interfering with a member of a flight crew and three counts of assault on an aircraft with a potentially deadly weapon.
Federal charges say Hudek - whose mother worked for Delta - was flying first class on a "dependent pass" and became violent when flight attendants tried to stop him from opening the door over the Pacific Ocean on July 6.
He will be sentenced in May.
