NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: Passenger Sky- High Before Plane Got Off The Ground
Kinman Chan, 30, was charged with interfering with the duties of a flight attendant and disorderly conduct for (allegedly) going into the bathroom shortly after takeoff, screaming, and dropping trou. According to the criminal complaing, Chan fought off crew members who tried to get him to sit, until he was subdued in a chokehold. US Airways Flight 1447 from Philadelphia to Los Angeles was diverted to Pittsburgh, where he was arrested. His defense? He ate a double dose of marijuana-laced cookies – prescribed in San Francisco for an unspecified medical condition – and freaked out, reports The Associated Press. If convicted of interfering with the duties of a flight attendant, Chan faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
