MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Police cited two people on Wednesday for fighting on a Sun Country Airlines plane that arrived at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport from Tampa, Florida. Forty-two-year-old Eddy Soto of Chicago, and 30-year-old Justin Michael Dodd of Belle Plaine, Minnesota, were cited for disorderly conduct for brawling or fighting on Tuesday.

This happened against a backdrop of mass flight cancellations, inclement weather, staffing shortages and general chaos at airports across the country. In Minneapolis, 90 flight delays were reported Wednesday, along with 34 cancellations – 32 of which were Southwest flights, according to aviation website FlightAware. Twenty-six Sun Country Airlines flights were also delayed Wednesday.
