(CNN) -- An Idaho man accused of uttering a racial slur and slapping a crying 19-month-old boy on a Delta Air Lines flight is now out of a job.
Joe Rickey Hundley of Hayden, Idaho, was charged with[..]aulting a minor in the February 8 incident. His company, which initially suspended him, said Sunday that Hundley had been let go.
"Reports of the recent behavior of one of our business unit executives while on personal travel are offensive and disturbing," said a statement from AGC Aerospace & Defense. "We have taken this matter very seriously and worked diligently to examine it since learning of the matter on Friday afternoon.
"As of Sunday, the executive is no longer employed with the company."
AGC Aerospace & Defense supplies technology and other services to the military and businesses.
Affidavit: Slap with an open hand
According to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Atlanta last week:
The boy's mother, Jessica Bennett, 33, of Minnesota and her son were seated in row 28, seat B, on Delta Flight 721 that originated in Minneapolis.
As the plane began its descent into Atlanta, the boy began to cry because of the altitude change and his mother tried to soothe him.
Then Hundley, who was seated next to the mother and son, allegedly told her to "shut that ('N word') baby up."
Hundley then turned around and slapped the child in the face with an open hand, which caused him to scream even louder, an FBI affidavit said.
The boy suffered a scratch below his right eye.
Other passengers on the plane[..]isted Bennett, and one of them heard the slur and witnessed the alleged[..]ault, the affidavit said.
No comment
"I could not believe that he would say something like that and to a baby or about a baby and then to hit him was just, I felt like I was in another world. I was shaking," Bennett told CNN affiliate KARE in Minneapolis.
The charge of simple[..]ault on someone under age 16 carries a prison sentence of one year, court papers said.
In 2007, Hundley pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor[..]ault charge filed in Virginia, according to court records.
Reached by phone Friday, Hundley declined to comment to CNN and referred inquiries to his attorney.
The attorney couldn't be immediately reached for comment at the time.

In today's job market [pic] If he doesn't k!ll himself in a year it'll be a miracle, no lie.

[pic]Good and I hope a few more bad things happen to him ASAP.

Good.

Glad some companies are stepping up and holding their employees accountable for their actions. I just hope he doesn't go postal or on a rampage against black people and their babies.
