Police: Man attacks teen over cell phone on plane
A 68-year-old Idaho man has been charged with misdemeanor battery after police say he struck a teen who would not turn off his phone while the plane they were in was taxiing for takeoff.
The incident took place Tuesday evening on a Southwest Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Boise, Idaho, said Lt. Kent Lipple of the Boise police.
The man, Russell Miller, was arrested after the plane landed, Lipple said.

More 'teens' need slappin' these days and their little toys shoved where the sun doesn't shine.
It's almost like you're a redneck. umad?
(Oldman)hey kid they said turn off all phones(teen)I don't care what they said you old fart(oldman)get off the phone you little basterd (whammm)now off the phone(tEen)ok I sorry mr
Airlines ONLY have the rule to turn off phones because it is annoying. ONE cell phone WILL NOT bring down an airplane nor will it interfere with the avionics on the aircraft. In fact several airlines are considering allowing passangers to use their cell phones IF they can get a signal. I use my cell phone in my small airplane and have no problems with the avionics – neither steamgauge nor glass panel G1000.
Worked in the corn fields during summers at ages 11, 12, and 13. Pay the first summer was $3.05. Got a .05 cent raise each of next two summers.
We played a game called Indian. Don't know why we called it that. Just did.
20 person crew, 6 or so of them being young ladies who did not play Indian.
2 people were chosen to be Indians and they had to take off running.
The rest would stalk and tackle the Indians.
The old man who ran the job was a fella by the name Brank Bark.
He was always charging around the fields trying to keep the herd moving.
He seemed mean and would cus you out with swear words. You could tell when he was approach ing cause he always had a big cigar lit.
I absolutely love how the military men who laid out all the details of how cell phones DON'T interfere with avionics just get ignored. As if the other people posting on this article would know better than they do. If cell phones posed any real danger on flights they simply would not be allowed, period. They don't let you bring weapons onto planes /so long as they are disarmed during flight/. Instinctual violence like that over such a irrelevant incident shows how much of an ape he is.
This whole thing is a myth. Ask Mythbusters. The real reason they don't want your cell phone on is so you cant phone into a bomb or coordinate anything.
Sheeple
He was a teenager with a cell phone. He needed to be beaten anyway.
A senile hits a penile.
lol you people think cell phones can bring down a plane... if so, why would terrorists bother hiding bombs in their shorts when they can just make a deadly call to pizza hut on takeoff?

Its called obeying the rules, if the punk kid can't do that then he'll end up in jail at some point!
Its a waste of time debating wether the phone will cause problems or not, its a rule! thats the end of it.
He should have been put off the plane!
Speeding, it's illegal it's a rule / law. Should you be told to get off the road. Your logic is that he uses a cell phone when he is not supposed to so he is a punk that will one day go to jail. Can you imagine this logic being applied to you as you break the law by speeding down the highway?
He should have just went ahead and kicked his A– Nobody has any manners anymore. I dont want to hear other peoples conversations in a checkout line in the bank in a plane. His parents should have taught him to have manners and respect for other people. GOOD FOR YOU OLD MAN ! WHEN YA GET OUT KICK HIS A– AGAIN.
I agree wholeheartedly. There is no place where you can have peace and quiet anymore. You can't have a coffee without somebody next to you yucking about her boyfriend.
They need to give Mr Miller a free pass for flying from now on
As usual the kid's a jerk.
It's something how you people are so concerned over a little whack on some brat by some old guy, but none of you give a dam about the major problem with loopy holes that novelty glass makers are having. This will affect millions of Americans. You are not listening people, and there are only 3 days to New Years!
Give the old guy a medal. Take the kid directly to jail he was breaking the law!!!
