A Southwest Airlines flight was diverted to Amarillo after a passenger became unruly.
Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Sarah Horowitz says information was still being gathered on the incident.
Amarillo Aviation Director Patrick Rhodes tells the Amarillo Globe-News that the flight crew asked for emergency clearance to land about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Rhodes said the crew reported the flight was interrupted when a male passenger became unruly.
Rhodes also said earlier reports of the man attempting to break into the cockpit were erroneous.
He provided no other details, but he said Amarillo police arrested the man and turned him over to federal officials for questioning.
The plan has since been swept by security and is continuing on to it's final destination.
