Paris Hilton's younger brother Conrad Hilton was just arrested in L.A. for allegedly going insane on an international flight back in July ... and getting violent with flight attendants ... TMZ has learned.
According to witnesses, Conrad was heard yelling the following things during his meltdown:
-- "If you wanna square up to me bro, then bring it and I will efing fight you."
-- "I am going to efing kill you."
-- "I will efing rip through you."
-- "I will efing own anyone on this flight; they are efing peasants."
Witnesses say ... at one point during the flight, Conrad was ferociously punching the bulkhead of the plane ... 10 centimeters from a flight attendant's face.
At one point, Conrad fell asleep ... and the captain authorized crew members to restrain him to his seat for the descent. Conrad was ultimately handcuffed to his seat.
Witnesses told officials Conrad grabbed a flight attendant's shirt and said, "I could get you all fired in 5 minutes. I know your boss! My father will pay this out. He has done it before. Dad paid $300k last time."
Some of the highlights:
• He dropped the f-word some 25 times.
• He complained that another passenger was giving him the "stink eye."
• He threatened to kill several flight attendants and a co-pilot, and threatened to get them fired, saying, "I could get you all fired in five minutes. I know your boss," Hilton said in one of the document's few quotes that didn't include an expletive.
• He wasn't concerned about consequences. "My father will pay this out, he has done it before," he said. "Dad paid $300,000 last time."
• Hilton threw a punch inches from another flight attendant's head that struck the bulkhead.
• Hilton, who was apparently upset over the breakup with a girlfriend, went to a lower deck restroom and the odor of pot wafted out.
A co-pilot said Hilton appeared to be uncoordinated, delusional and paranoid. Hilton eventually fell asleep and was handcuffed to his seat for the remaining 90 minutes of flight. But that was after the pilot authorized a team of five flight attendants to restrain Hilton with blankets and aviation restraints, which made him scream obscenities and say his career as a model would be "ruined."
Defense lawyer Robert Shapiro said he had just received the documents and would have to review them with his client before making a statement on the case. "It may be the effects of a sleeping pill" or something else, Shapiro said outside court, reports AP.
Hilton, who was traveling alone, acknowledged tangling with flight attendants, bragging to Gates, “I told all of them I could get all of their jobs taken away in less than thirty seconds." Describing a male flight attendant he yelled at, Hilton said, “I went off on him to a point where he had to leave the room and was so embarrassed. I shouted in front of all his colleagues. It was brutal. But he deserved it.”
Hilton, who told Agent Gates that he took a sleeping pill before boarding the plane, made an initial appearance this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. He was allowed to surrender to FBI agents on the felony charge, which carries a maximum 20-year prison term.

I notice that they didn't use "Terroristic Threat" 40 times. Had it been one of the lowly folks like us, we would have been labeled a "Terroristic Threat" unable to ever fly again, face massive fines, restitution, and possibly 3 hots and a cot for a wee bit.
A female attendant described Flight 269 as “one tirade after another” from Hilton, adding that the young passenger declared that he “was already banned by other airlines” and that his behavior on the British Airways plane would “probably turn into a lawsuit for his father to pay.”
The federal charge alleges that Hilton "knowingly assaulted and intimidated flight attendants of the aircraft and, in doing so, interfered with the performance of the duties of the flight attendants and lessened the ability of the flight attendants to perform their duties."
"Hilton frequently lamented that he wanted to smoke marijuana on the plane," according to an affidavit by FBI agent David Gates.
He also allegedly told a flight attendant that "I could get you all fired in five minutes. I know your boss!"
"My father will pay this out, he has done it before. Dad paid $300,000 last time," Hilton allegedly told a flight attendant, according to court papers.
The flight's pilot, who was second-in-command to the captain, "noticed the smoke detector above the bathroom ceiling had been stuffed with paper towels, apparently to prevent the smoke alarm from sounding," court papers said.
The pilot later confronted Hilton, and Hilton surrendered a used pack of cigarettes and a lighter, authorities said.
When Gates read the federal law to Hilton, he interrupted the FBI agent and stated: "I did intimidate. But, through defense. He came up to me with his nose," referring to a crew member, the affidavit said.
When Hilton faced the judge he was respectful. When asked if he understood his rights and the charge, which was filed Monday and could carry a prison term of up to 20 years if Hilton is convicted.
"Yes, your honor," he repeated after each question.
Hilton, who didn't enter a plea, was released on a $100,000 unsecured bond, ordered to appear for arraignment March 5 and told to continue mental health treatment.

I guess I will have to read up on sleeping pills.
The intended effect is not to promote rage, AFAIK.
