*A heavily intoxicated passenger caused an American Airlines flight to make an emergency landing in Buffalo after exposing himself and urinating in the aisle.
According to federal prosecutors, Neil McCarthy, 25, admitted to police that he was masturbating on the flight to New Hampshire and attributed his actions to a medical urination condition, the New York Post reports. Court documents reveal that McCarthy had been drinking heavily before and during his journey from Portland to Manchester, New Hampshire, with a layover in Chicago.
A passenger snapped a photo of McCarthy urinating in the aisle during the flight, prompting the plane to divert to the Buffalo Niagara International Airport. McCarthy was arrested at Gate 2 and charged with indecent exposure.
The flight continued its journey after the urinator was removed from the plane.
After a hearing Wednesday in a Buffalo federal court, McCarthy was released. He faces a maximum sentence of six months in prison.
American Airlines said in a statement, “We thank our team members for their professionalism and our customers for their understanding.”
