• Bomb Scare

  On January 7, 2009, Roth was aboard a flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles. As the flight was landing in LA, another passenger stated that he was carrying a bomb and then tried to escape the plane. Several passengers combined efforts to help subdue the man until authorities reached scene and took the offender into custody. Although original reports stated that Roth was among those who helped subdue the self-proclaimed bomb holder, Roth later refuted these claims, saying that it was actually his guitarist, Chris Llewellyn, who helped detain the man.MTV: Asher Roth Says Guitarist, Not Him, Subdued Would-Be Bomber (January 8, 2009)
