A Holualoa man was arrested after allegedly becoming drunk and belligerent earlier this week on a Kona-bound flight, law enforcement reports.

Dannford Vorus Davis, 43, was aboard Alaska Airlines flight 845 coming in Monday from Oakland, California, said special agent Tom Simon of the FBI. Davis was disruptive, he said, and an off-duty law enforcement officer restrained him until the plane landed at Kona International Airport.

When he landed, he was taken into temporary custody by the FBI and Hawaii Police Department officers. He was arrested by county police on a charge of disorderly conduct at 3:30 p.m. Monday, according to the police arrest log. Davis posted a $250 bond at 4:45 p.m. and was released. He will make an initial appearance Feb. 18 in Kona District Court.

Federal prosecutors consulted with the FBI and opted not to charge Davis, said Elliot Enoki, assistant U.S. attorney.
