Angry Old Man of the Day: 68-year-old Russell Miller was arrested upon arrival at Boise Airport aboard a Southwest flight from Las Vegas. The charge? Decking a 15-year-old for refusing to turn off his iPhone prior to landing.

From KBOI-TV 2News:

Police say the teen was playing games and listening to music when the flight attendants announced their final approach to land and all powered devices needed to be turned off.

When the teenager didn’t respond to the intercom request, witnesses say the man got angry and then during the in-flight fight ultimately punched the teenager in the arm.

No word on the condition of the iPhone.
