ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- A disruptive passenger forced a Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles to land at the Albuquerque International Sunport between 6 and 7 p.m. Thursday.<br />
<br />
Airport spokesman Daniel Jiron told the Albuquerque Journal (http://bit.ly/1HJ84bv ) that Sunport police arrested the passenger, who was traveling on Delta Flight 81, once the plane landed.<br />
<br />
Jiron tells the Journal that he doesn't know the nature of the incident that made the pilot feel he had to land the plane.<br />
<br />
He adds that the FBI was called, which is standard in cases like this.<br />
<br />
The man was not charged and did not get back on the plane. The plane left for Los Angeles around 8 p.m.
