Prince George, B.C.- Opinion250 has learned Prince George City Councilor Cameron Stolz is being credited with defusing a situation on a recent Air Canada flight.

According to witnesses on the Vancouver to Toronto flight last Saturday, Stolz was one of 9 passengers in first class when a passenger who had been disruptive on the flight, punched a flight attendant.

Opinion 250 has been told, Councilor Stolz jumped from his seat and placed himself between the flight attendant and the agitated passenger, and talked to the passenger until she was calm enough to return to her seat in economy class.

There were further issues with the agitated passenger, who, at one point urinated in the aisle because another flight attendant refused to let her use the washroom in the first class cabin.

Upon arrival at Pearson International Airport, the plane was met by 5 Peel Regional police officers who took the agitated passenger into custody.

When contacted by Opinion 250, Councilor Stolz reluctantly confirmed he had tried to assist, and has since written a three page statement for police. Stolz says he believes the agitated passenger is facing a string of charges.

Peel Regional Police say they will confirm the list of charges tomorrow.

Stolz was on the flight to Toronto to attend the toy show for his business, Great White.

Could you imagine urinating in the aisle of a plane?! Demeaning... But if you really gotta go.

Must have been an interesting site seeing her urinating in publis. Will it be shown on you tube?

Harbinger, I love your comments! On this one however, you are off the page. He was on the flight for his own business, something about a "Toy Show" me thinks! Not on our hook.

HArbinger, read it again , he was on his own coin, representing his own business.

Way to go Cameron, Why is it everytime someone from Any level of Government travels we always presume it is on our nickel. I remember an article where Cameron was wanting to attend A Council meeting electronically as he was going to be at a toy show buying for his business. (Great white Toys) IF you watch city council on Channel 10 I think you will be impressed by Cameron's level of commitment to the tax payers.

Stoltz is proving to be a good councilor. Not every trip a councilor is on city business. Some folks just like to take a good story and turn it into something bad.

Kuddos to Cameron Stoltz!!!!
