A magistrate judge ruled that the threshold for a detention hearing had been met and ordered Noble held in custody. The hearing is scheduled for June 30.<\/p>\n<p>According to court records, Noble is charged in connection with an incident aboard Aer Lingus Flight EI 53 during a June 19 flight from Dublin to Seattle. <\/p>\n<p>Federal authorities allege Noble became disruptive after consuming alcohol and engaged in threatening and aggressive behavior toward passengers and crew members.<\/p>\n<p>An FBI complaint alleges Noble harassed a passenger seated next to him and later aggressively grabbed a flight attendant from behind. Authorities say he also threatened a crew member and resisted efforts by flight attendants to restrain him.<\/p>\n<p>According to the complaint, flight attendants cleared nearby passengers from the area and eventually used handcuffs and seat restraints to secure Noble. <\/p>\n<p>The filing states that approximately seven flight attendants were involved in restraining him and that his behavior disrupted normal cabin operations for several hours.<\/p>\n<p>Federal investigators allege Noble&#039;s actions forced flight attendants to suspend cabin service and prevented them from performing their normal duties. He is charged under a federal statute prohibiting interference with flight crew members and attendants.<\/p>\n<p>Court records show U.S. Magistrate Judge Brian A. Tsuchida scheduled Noble&#039;s detention hearing for 10 a.m. June 30.
