WASHINGTON ( CNN ) -- Federal authorities are looking for a Delta Air Lines passenger who they say caused an uproar aboard a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Tuesday . According to a criminal complaint , Jared Layne Hansen faces charges of interfering with a flight crew , making false statements about having weapons and saying the plane was being hijacked , and assaulting federal air marshals . An arrest warrant was issued . Hansen , 31 , from Salt Lake City , Utah , was sitting in seat 10B of the main cabin of Delta Flight 235 . The trouble began , according to an affidavit filed by air marshal Dennis Scott , when Hansen tried to go into the front section of the cabin , which is restricted to business class passengers for security reasons . Hansen refused to obey instructions from the flight crew that he go back to his seat or to a bathroom in the rear cabin , the document alleges . `` Mr. Hansen threatened to urinate in the aircraft galley and grabbed his penis and threatened to urinate all over himself , '' according to the criminal complaint . Crew members summoned air marshals on the flight , saying they needed help with a passenger who appeared `` heavily intoxicated '' and was not behaving as requested . The court document says one marshal found Hansen standing in the galley exposing his genitals . When the officer approached him , the complaint said , Hansen clinched his fists and started hitting himself in the face . The marshals identified themselves as police officers and Hansen shoved two of them , the affidavit states . The marshals handcuffed Hansen and put him in his assigned seat . Hansen allegedly made a variety of false statements during the remainder of the flight -- sometimes yelling them out -- such as `` this is a hijacking . '' He allegedly claimed to have a handgun and a bomb . According to the complaint , he also said the air marshals aboard the plane were hijacking the plane and called them terrorists . Four marshals were on Flight 235 . The statements frightened the passengers , the document states , adding Hansen allegedly threatened the air marshals by saying he would `` track us down . '' Hansen was detained and questioned by law enforcement upon arrival Tuesday in Detroit , but he was not arrested . `` We needed to do more investigation before we filed a criminal complaint , '' said Gina Balaya , a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney 's Office in Detroit . Kim Thompson , an official with the Federal Air Marshal Service , said she could not discuss the case and referred all questions to Justice Department officials .
