BOSTON—An airport spokesman says a passenger on a USAirways flight departing from Boston was arrested after refusing to take his seat and other passengers reported that he had placed a suspicious item in the overhead bin.

Logan International Airport spokesman Phil Orlandella said the 35-year-old man refused the flight crew's request to hang up his cell phone and sit down on the Reagan National Airport-bound flight on Monday morning.

Officials removed the passenger as well as his carry-on luggage that was allegedly making odd noises. His checked piece of luggage also was removed. Orlandella said no threat was found.

The man, whose name was not released, was charged with interfering with a flight crew and disorderly conduct.

The flight later departed without incident.
