A United Airlines passenger is facing 21 years in federal prison after being found guilty of assaulting a crew member earlier this year.

The incident occurred during a flight from Melbourne to Los Angeles when Adau Akui Atem Mornyang, 24, who appeared to be intoxicated, began verbally and physically abusing the staff and other passengers, according to a press release from the Department of Justice.

Evidence presented at trial indicated when a flight attendant approached Mornyang, she began to shout and then slapped him across the face.

Mornyang was found guilty of a felony charge of interference with a flight crew and a misdemeanor assault.

She is scheduled to be sentenced on June 24.
