Passenger Allegedly Tries to Kiss Flight Attendant During Mid-Air Meltdown
A passenger aboard an hour-long Southwest Airlines hop from Southern California to Las Vegas allegedly tried to force himself on a flight attendant, insisting he was having a panic attack and wouldn’t be able to settle down unless she joined him in the lavatory.
The man kept at it until three of his buddies finally pinned him to a seat so the plane could land, according to a criminal complaint first obtained by The Daily Beast.
William Morgan is now facing two federal counts of simple assault within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States. Each specific charge in Morgan’s case, which was unsealed Monday, carries up to a year in prison.
