Spokesman Jim Cross says the passenger will be charged Wednesday, but he provided no details on the charge or the nature of the disruption.

American Airlines says Flight 622 from Phoenix to New York was sent to Wichita, Kansas, on Tuesday evening because of the unruly passenger. The airline said in an email Wednesday that law enforcement met the flight and took the passenger into custody. The airline did not identify the passenger.

An airport police spokeswoman at Eisenhower National Airport said the passenger was taken to the Sedgwick County jail.

The flight left Wichita a few hours later and landed in New York shortly before midnight Tuesday.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — American Airlines says a flight from Phoenix to New York was diverted to Wichita after a passenger became disruptive.

American Airlines says Flight 622 from Phoenix to New York was sent to Wichita on Tuesday evening because of the unruly passenger. The airline said in an email Wednesday that law enforcement met the flight and took the passenger into custody.

The airline did not provide details about the nature of the disruption nor identify the passenger.

Wichita airport police Lt. Lloyd Youel says the FBI interviewed the passenger before he was booked into the Sedgwick County jail on a “related charge.” He would not describe the charge or the passenger’s identity.

The flight left Wichita a few hours later and landed in New York shortly before midnight Tuesday.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Target plans to close 13 additional stores nationwide. They closed all of the stores in Canada this year.

The Minneapolis-based retailer says a decision to close a store usually follows several years of decreasing profitability. The retail giant plans to close the stores on Jan. 30, 2016.  The store at 301 S. Towne East Mall Drive in Wichita recently closed.

See the complete list of store closures here.

Target was hurt by a massive credit-card breach before Christmas 2013 that sent shoppers temporarily fleeing. The company also botched a major expansion into Canada and pulled the plug on that earlier this year.

Layoffs in 2015 included 2,500 jobs, or about one-fifth of the workers in the company’s corporate offices in Minneapolis and Brooklyn Park.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — A small plane that made an emergency landing along an Arkansas highway was piloted by a former CEO at Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

Bill Simon, who led the company’s U.S. operations from 2010 to 2014, told The Associated Press he unfurled a parachute that brought the plane down Tuesday along Arkansas 16 outside Fayetteville High School.

Simon says he suffered a burn as his air bag deployed.

Police say all three men aboard the plane were taken to a hospital, as was a woman whose truck was hit by the falling plane. Police say only minor injuries were reported.

Simon was flying to Waco, Texas, where he teaches at Baylor University. He says he decided to land the plane after its oil system failed, and relied on his training to bring the plane down relatively safely.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Board of Regents is soliciting comments from state universities about a proposal to allow people to have concealed guns on their campuses but not carry the weapons openly.

The Lawrence Journal World reports that a regents committee has drafted a proposed policy and the full board hopes to vote on it in December.

A 2013 state law says adults 21 and older who can carry concealed guns can bring them into public buildings unless those buildings have security measures such as metal detectors. The law allowed universities to exempt themselves until July 2017.

Under the proposed policy, each university must have a place for people to securely store their weapons. Each campus also must identify the buildings in which concealed weapons won’t be allowed.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita man has been sentenced to nearly four years in prison after hitting a just-married groom at an IHOP last August.

District Attorney Marc Bennett says 23-year-old Oliver Bradwell was sentenced Oct. 21 to 45 months in prison after pleading guilty to aggravated battery in July.

The Wichita Eagle reports  that newly married Omar Galaviz-Hernandez and his wife, whose name was not provided, were eating at an east-side IHOP in their wedding clothes.

A news release from Bennett says Bradwell hit Galaviz-Hernandez after Galaviz-Hernandez had told him to “show some respect” when Bradwell “made a derogatory comment toward” the bride. Galaviz-Hernandez fell and hit his head, knocking him unconscious.

Bradwell was ordered to pay more than $12,600 in restitution as part of 36 months of post-release supervision.
