He was convicted for selling drugs in the past, but he had mental health problems since 24.02.2022. The fact that his Russian travel passport was missing probably points to a different explanation: he used it to pass security and he may have had a ticket for another flight, but he lost it after security. Extra stress did not help his mental state, so he eventually managed to board some random flight and landed in USA. Edit: his conviction was for possession, not for selling drugs.
