An Air Canada flight from Vancouver to Fort McMurray, Alberta was diverted to Kelowna on Tuesday after a 23 year old passenger stole some beer from the beverage cart and then tried to hide the evidence by flushing the empty can down the toilet.
Airport Communications Officer Jenelle Turpin said the pilot of the flight decided to divert to Kelowna and call in the Mounties to handle the situation. Two other passengers were questioned and released.
"We have a zero tolerance policy as it concerns unruly passengers – the comfort and safety of our passengers and crew is our top priority at Jazz," Air Canada Jazz spokeswoman Debra Williams said.
The plane reached For McMurray 75 minutes late.
