California man charged for allegedly attacking TSA, police at Dallas airport

A California man has been federally charged after allegedly attacking two Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers and seriously injuring a Dallas police officer at Dallas Love Field Airport, officials said.

Idress Vinay Solomon, 33, of Oakland, California, faces up to 20 years in prison after being charged with assaulting and inflicting bodily injury on a federal agent.

According to a federal complaint filed Wednesday, Solomon held a ticket for a Southwest Airlines flight to Oakland International Airport on March 10.

Prosecutors said Solomon approached the airport security checkpoint without identification and was directed by a TSA agent to a different lane to be identified through the agency’s ConfirmID process.

According to the complaint, Solomon became “verbally disruptive and aggressive” after the process failed to verify his identity.

“Violent behavior perpetrated against TSA and law enforcement officers will never be tolerated in the Northern District of Texas,” U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Ryan Raybould said in a statement.

“We will prosecute these offenses to the fullest extent necessary to achieve justice for the victims and to deter others from resorting to aggressive attacks against officers responsible for ensuring the safety of the public while they travel.”

Solomon allegedly punched a TSA agent in the back of the head after the agent called a supervisor.

According to a complaint, the Dallas Police Department responded to the incident and Solomon allegedly punched one of the officers multiple times in the face, causing a severe orbital fracture to the officer’s left eye that required hospital treatment.

After being arrested, Solomon “deliberately spat saliva” on a police officer’s right arm as officers attempted to get him into a police vehicle, the complaint states.

Prosecutors alleged Salomon refused to follow lawful verbal commands and continued to yell and move away from officers.
