An Iowa Man Is Facing Federal Charges For Yelling And Trying To Open The Doors On A Plane At The Omaha Airport

By Mandy Billings Nov 14, 2023 | 5:15 AM

(Undated) — An Iowa man is facing charges for yelling about God and demons and trying to force the cabin doors of a plane open as it was ready for takeoff.

The U.S. Attorney for Nebraska’s filed the charges in federal court against Wesley Orban. He was on a plane that was preparing for takeoff at Eppley Airfield in Omaha last week when he reportedly ran to the front of the plane pounding on the cabin doors and trying to open them.

In federal court Monday, Orban was ordered to turn in his passport, and guns, and ordered to remain in Nebraska or Iowa. And, not drink or take drugs.
