Man Busted Masturbating On Flight While Shocked Passengers Looked On
DENVER (PIX11)— It has all the elements of a horror movie: a snake,
a plane and a couple of horrified passengers.
A Florida man faces a $5,000 fine after he allegedly masturbated on a United Airlines flight
late last week while shocked passengers looked on in disbelief.
Washington (U.S. state) According to reports, 25-year-old Kyle Pierce was taken into custody
shortly after United Airlines Flight 340 touched down in Denver on May 19.
The flight flew in from Spokane, Washington.
A teenage passenger sitting next to Pierce first alerted flight attendants,
after she witnessed the unsettling scene unfold before her eyes.
"I heard a noise and looked over and saw his penis," the 18-year-old woman told investigators,
according to the criminal complaint. "He ejaculated and got some on the seat.
Then he went to the bathroom for a long time."
Another passenger was alerted by a friend who saw Pierce pleasuring himself.
"My friend Zach turned to me and said,
'That man is masturbating' and in disbelief,
I looked and saw his penis," Grayson Miller told authorities.
"I hit him with a book in the arm,
which caused him to stop and leave to the bathroom.After a while he returned."
Pearce remains in custody without bail following a court hearing Monday.
If convicted of obscene and indecent exposure,
he could get up to 90 days in jail in addition to a $5,000 fine.
