FBI looks into Brad Pitt flight

THE FBI is gathering information about an incident involving actor Brad Pitt and his family aboard a private flight last week, the agency confirmed on Thursday.

Spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said the FBI was still evaluating whether to open an investigation into allegations that Pitt was abusive during the flight toward one of his six children with actress Angelina Jolie Pitt, as several media outlets have reported.

The news reports from anonymous sources contend the actor is under investigation by a child welfare agency because of the September 14 airborne incident.

Amara Suarez, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, said the agency could not confirm whether it was investigating Pitt or the well-being of the former couple’s children.

A representative for Pitt declined comment on Thursday.

Jolie Pitt filed for divorce on Monday and her lawyer released a statement the day following the airborne incident saying she had come to the decision “for the health of the family.” She listed their separation date as September 15, the day after the alleged plane incident, and the actress is seeking sole custody of all six of the children.

Koochiching County, Minnesota, Sheriff Perryn Hedlund said on Thursday that Brad Pitt was on a plane that landed at the International Falls, Minnesota, airport near the Canadian border on September 14.

Hedlund said his sheriff’s deputies were not called to the airport, and International Falls police were also not called.
