Sheriff’s Sweeney Defuses 14 Hour Hijack Threat
San Mateo County Sheriff’s Sgt Bill Sweeney kept calm through a 14 hour crisis with hijacker Palm J Hinnant, using radio talks to secure release of hostages and surrender of two pistols and a knife. Hinnant walked off the United DC8 after Sweeney built a steady rapport. Hostages Richard Funk and Jerome Dusenberry were unharmed aside from Funk’s minor knife wounds. Sweeney, 46, collapsed from exhaustion after guiding negotiations. Hinnant, on sick leave for emotional problems, reportedly faced economic pressures and personal tragedy, including the death of his 3 year old son.
