SEATTLE — A Florida man who authorities say wielded a wine bottle in a brawl with flight attendants and passengers as he tried to open the door of a Delta Air Lines flight from Seattle to China has pleaded guilty to four felony charges.

Joseph Hudek IV, 24, entered the plea Friday in federal court in Seattle to one count of interfering with a member of a flight crew and three counts of assault on an aircraft with a potential deadly weapon, The Seattle Times reported.

The plea came after Hudek filed an affidavit with the court stating that he bought and ingested “edible marijuana” in Seattle just before his flight.

“Later, while on the airplane and after I had consumed the marijuana, I began to feel dramatically different,” Hudek said in the document.

The federal charges indicate that Hudek — whose mother worked for Delta — was flying first class on a “dependent pass” on July 6 and became violent when flight attendants tried to stop him from opening the door over the Pacific Ocean.
