An elderly evangelical preacher is facing federal charges for allegedly attacking his wife on a plane when she was upgraded to first class but he was not.
The ugly physical attack occurred on July 2 aboard Alaska Airlines flight 275 from Seattle to Anchorage, after Roger Allan Holmberg Sr., 75, verbally abused his wife and flipped her the bird in front of a cabin full of terrified passengers, according to a criminal complaint acquired by The Independent.
The couple were heading to Alaska from Virginia for a meeting “related to their ministry,” according to the complaint, which was filed on July 3.
The Holmbergs reportedly knew each other for about 20 years before marrying a year and a half ago, following the death of Holmberg’s former wife.
Under questioning by airport police and the FBI, Holmberg stated that he and his wife had been attending a marriage counselor in an attempt to restore their relationship.
However, according to the complaint, Holmberg blamed the difficulties solely on her.
According to the lawsuit, Holmberg stated he was “upset” over his wife’s first-class upgrade because he wanted her to go with him and sit next to him.
According to the report, Holmberg downplayed the severity of the strike, telling investigators that he only “tapped his wife on the head in passing to get her attention.”
Holmberg was arrested on 1 count of simple assault within the United States’ special marine and territorial jurisdiction and sent to the Anchorage Correctional Center, where he will be arraigned Monday at 10:30 AM local time.
If convicted at trial, Holmberg may face up to 1 year in prison.
A representative for Alaska Airlines said that Holmberg “has been banned from our flights.”
