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.
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.
He should be sent to Gitmo for setting off an explosion on an airplane.
