A Utah man was arrested and charged in federal court with carrying a straight-edge razor blade on a JetBlue flight and using it to threaten another passenger. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Salt Lake City filed a complaint Tuesday against Merrill Darrell Fackrell charging him with carrying a weapon on an aircraft and assault with a dangerous weapon on an aircraft. They say he threatened a passenger with a straight-edge razor blade during a Monday flight from JFK to Salt Lake City. A federal judge issued an order Wednesday for his detention after prosecutors said he was a danger to himself and the public. His public defender did not respond to an email seeking comment.
