“When he boarded the plane in Portland, Abunayyan was free on $65,000 bail after being arrested Sunday night in a town 285 miles to the south following a ‘Grand Theft Auto’-style police chase, during which he allegedly rammed two squad cars and tried to run down a pedestrian — all while grinning wildly. On Tuesday, when a flight stewardess asked Abunayyan to turn off his cigarette, passengers say he started screaming, punching at the woman and singing or muttering about dead Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

“Before the fracas aboard the plane, Abunayyan, a Saudi Arabian national, was visiting family members five hours from Portland in Ashland, Oregon.
On Sunday night, he allegedly led officers on a bizarre, 20-minute low speed police chase that was like something out of a violent video game, one witness said.
‘It was like “Grand Theft Auto,’ Adrian Olesnyckyj told the Ashland Daily Tidings. ‘Initially, I thought it was someone who skidded out because it was raining.’
But when the driver skidded three times: ‘… that’s when I knew something was up, so I called the cops,’ Olesnyckyj said.
During the chase, which never exceeded 40 miles per house, Abunayyan slammed into one place car in a parking lot and then tried to run down a pedestrian.
He then hit another squad car twice, before running his car into an embankment, according to police.
Abunayyan’s dome light was on during the chase and officers reported that they could see him grinning as he eluded them.
He was booked on charges of driving under the influence of intoxicants, reckless driving, eluding police, two charges of first-degree criminal mischief, three charges of hit and run, six charges of reckless endangerment, and two charges of assault on an officer.
