A Delta passenger who fought with a flight attendant and attempted to open an emergency exit midair will spend 18 months in federal prison.
Mario Nikprelaj, 24, of Shelby Township, Michigan, received the sentence Tuesday after pleading guilty to interfering with flight crew and attendants on a SkyWest flight operating as a Delta Connection from Omaha to Detroit on July 17, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Iowa announced.
