An Arizona real estate company has said it is "no longer associated" with an agent who was arrested earlier this month after allegedly engaging in unruly behavior, including racist and homophobic slurs, aboard an American Airlines flight, according to the Guardian.

The agent, identified as Layne Arthur Lundeen, 67, was taken into custody at Baltimore's airport on September 3, according to Maryland court records cited by the Guardian.

According to the report, Lundeen was zip-tied and duct-taped to his seat during the flight after the alleged unruly conduct. He now faces charges of disorderly conduct and second-degree assault, court records show.

The Guardian reported that Lundeen was accused of directing racist and homophobic slurs at other passengers or crew during the flight, though further details of the specific allegations were not provided in the available excerpt.

The Arizona realty firm that had employed Lundeen confirmed it had severed ties with him following the incident, according to the report.

American Airlines has not been quoted directly in the available reporting regarding the incident. The case remains before Maryland courts, where Lundeen faces the assault and disorderly conduct counts.
