Passenger Disrupts Flight After Swallowing Rosary Beads and Attacking Crew

The American Airlines flight to Miami was forced to return to Savannah, Georgia, after the man experienced a 'satanic' episode, according to court records.

  • Delange Augustin, 31, caused a disturbance on a flight to Miami, claiming 'Satan's disciples' had followed him onto the plane.
  • Augustin swallowed rosary beads, which he believed were a weapon in spiritual warfare, and attacked a flight attendant, kicking them into a window across the aisle.
  • The flight, operated by Envoy Air, returned to Savannah shortly after takeoff, where Augustin was restrained by passengers and arrested by authorities.
  • His sister told investigators they were traveling to Haiti to escape perceived religious attacks of a spiritual nature.
  • Augustin faces charges including misdemeanor battery, criminal property damage, and interfering with a flight crew.
