    Man to be sentenced for hitting flight attendant

    HONOLULU (AP) — A 65-year-old Japanese man is scheduled to plead guilty to assaulting a flight attendant aboard a Delta Air Lines flight from Tokyo to Honolulu.

    According to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court, Sohei Yamanouchi hit the flight attendant once with an open hand and once with a closed fist after drinking four glasses of wine. Yamanouchi allegedly shook his fist at her and told her in English to "shut up."

    Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Song says Yamanouchi was traveling to Hawaii to attend his son's wedding. FBI agents arrested Yamanouchi when the flight landed Monday at Honolulu International Airport. He was released on $10,000 bond and attended the wedding.

    He faces a maximum of six months prison and a $10,000 fine at the sentencing set for Friday.

        Zeno, tiny trees? Spaghettios is bad enough, but American Idol - that's cruel and unusual punishment.

      Fine him $200,000 and don't let him leave the island without 500 hours of community service - picking up trash on the beaches.

      Another irresponsible, society recking piece of filth who thinks he/she/it can do whatever they (or their children) want without rightful consequences for his/her/their actions!

      Inexcusable, unnecessary...and pathetic.

        You mean like the douche in Mexico City that beat up the parking attendant for not showing him where the jack was in HIS OWN car? Or the Van der Sloot sociopath with his sense of self-entitlement?

        That post was rather inexcusable, HTNM, so I know what you mean.

      I have never had a problem with a flight attendant. But I rarely have a problem with anyone. Don't know why. I just don't. Those other individuals, corporations, now that's a different story.

      It was right after the stewardess told him to straighten up his seat and assume the position.
