A Sacramento-bound United Airlines flight out of Chicago was forced to make an emergency landing Friday afternoon in Denver after a passenger described as "unruly" either attempted or threatened to open an exit door and then claimed there was a bomb on the plane.

The man, identified by FBI officials as Jose Manuel Pelayo-Ortega, was subdued by flight attendants and other passengers, handcuffed and then taken into custody by local and federal law enforcement officials at Denver International Airport.
