PITTSBURGH (AP) _ A Lycoming County man has been sentenced to one year's probation with home detention for groping a woman on an airplane last year.

Authorities say 47-year-old Michael Lamar Holland of Montoursville groped a 39-year-old woman shortly after United Flight 917 took off Dec. 30 to Seattle from Dulles International Airport near Washington, D.C. The plane was diverted to Pittsburgh, where Holland was arrested.

His lawyer has said Holland had recently changed his seizure medications, has a history of blackouts and doesn't remember groping the woman.

Holland pleaded guilty in federal court in April to engaging in abusive sexual contact while on an airplane. He was living in Kent, Wash., when he was arrested.
