Man who tried to breach cockpit and jumped from moving plane at LAX sentenced to prison

A man who officials said tried to break into a cockpit, assaulted a flight attendant and then jumped out of the exit door of a moving airplane at Los Angeles International Airport was sentenced Wednesday to 18 months in prison.

Luis Armando Victoria Dominguez, a 34-year-old resident of La Paz, Mexico, was also ordered to pay $20,132 in restitution after previously pleading guilty to one count of interfering with a flight crew member and a flight attendant, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

On June 25, 2021, Dominguez was a passenger on a United Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City.
