Man arrested after he allegedly masturbates on JetBlue flight from NYC
By Jesse O’Neill - New York Post
His fellow passengers are hoping he doesn’t get off too easy.
A man flying JetBlue from JFK Airport to Detroit was arrested Monday afternoon after he allegedly masturbated on the two-hour flight.
The disturbing incident was reported by WJBK-TV after the station’s assignment editor was also on board Flight 1019.
“There was chatter what had happened when we were on the plane,” FOX 2’s Chris Farina said. “The talk was he exposed himself and now find out it was a little more than that.”
“It’s not something you expect flying home.”
Crew members were notified about an” incident involving potentially inappropriate behavior by a customer” and moved passengers sitting near him away from the jerk, the airline said in a statement to The Post.
The unidentified suspect was slapped with federal misdemeanor disorderly conduct charges as soon as the plane touched down, according to the Fox affiliate.
“Three Metro Airport police officers boarded the plane and within seconds, they were escorting a guy off the plane,” Farina said.
The Wayne County Airport Authority Police Department told The Post that the suspect was handed over to the FBI.
“The safety of our customers and crewmembers is JetBlue’s first priority, and we will support law enforcement in this case. Further inquiries should be directed to authorities,” the airline said.
