A passenger is potentially facing a maximum of 20 years in federal prison after allegedly attempting to choke a flight attendant during a Frontier Airlines flight.

The passenger, identified by the Department of Justice as 30-year old Charles Angel Salva, was on a Frontier Airlines flight from John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Santa Ana to San Francisco International Airport (SFO) on September 9, 2024.

According to the affidavit filed at the US Attorney’s Office in the Central District of California, flight attendants noticed that oxygen masks in one row of the plane had been deployed shortly after takeoff. Upon investigation, the cabin crew discovered that Salva had his hand in the overhead compartment above the masks.
