A Southwest plane bound for Los Angeles International Airport had to make an emergency landing after a passenger was caught smoking marijuana in the bathroom. Southwest says Flight 1250 from San Francisco to Los Angeles was diverted after the man was discovered smoking a marijuana cigarette. The man was promptly turned over to law enforcement and informed that he might face criminal charges, as smoking on an airplane is highly illegal. Passenger Jonathan Burkes said “It looked like that someone needed to smoke a joint on a plane, and he went into the bathroom, smoked his blunt, and set off the fire alarm.” The flight later completed its trip.(https://goo.gl/5Dt2qx)
