Narrative:
ATC instructed us to cross tiroe at 14000 ft and maintain forward maximum airspeed. Unfortunately, I must have mistakenly placed the '14000 ft' on the 'atl' line instead of tiroe. As a result, we missed the crossing restr by 2000 ft. Simultaneously, we were informed of an unruly passenger in first class and a possible situation developing and I feel that this may have been a contributing factor.
