A plane bound for Jamaica on Tuesday returned to Miami International Airport half an hour after taking off because a passenger argued with a flight attendant.

Upon landing, the pilot and crew of the American Airlines Flight 838 referred the passenger to the police, who did not arrest him because he has no criminal record and no physical altercation happened. The man did not reboard the plane when it took off again for Montego Bay.

The Airbus A300-600 plane with 127 passengers and nine crew members aboard left Miami at 6:38 p.m. and returned to the airport at 7:06 p.m.

According to the Miami Herald, airport spokesman Greg Chin said, "The problem was he mouthed off to a flight attendant, and the pilot decided it was enough of an issue to return to the ground."

The plane took off again at 7:56 p.m.
