From Fox News: A California man was federally charged after allegedly attacking two Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers and seriously injuring a Dallas police officer at Dallas Love Field Airport, officials said.
Idress Vinay Solomon, 33, of Oakland, California, faces up to 20 years in prison after being accused of assaulting a federal officer and inflicting bodily injury.
According to a federal complaint filed Wednesday, Solomon had a ticket for a Southwest Airlines flight to Oakland International Airport March 10.
Prosecutors said Solomon approached the airport security checkpoint without identification and was directed by a TSA officer to a different lane to be identified through the agency’s ConfirmID process.
After the process failed to verify his identity, Solomon reportedly went ballistic, becoming “verbally abusive and aggressive.”
The a TSA agent called for a supervisor, Solomon allegedly punched the agent in the back of the neck.
Then the Dallas Police showed up, and Solomon reportedly punched one of the officers multiple times in the face, causing a serious orbital blowout fracture to the officer’s left eye that required hospital treatment, the report states.
As he was being arrested, Solomon spit on one of the officers, refused verbal commands, and kept yelling and pulling away from the officers.
He now faces up to 20 years in federal prison, according to a press release by the Justice Department.
