A Spirit Airlines passenger has been grounded after allegedly inviting flight attendants to join the Mile High Club.
Detroit native James Warren Finnister, 47, is facing criminal charges for interfering with flight crew members, and sexually harassing and assaulting flight attendants, among other things, during a flight from Louisville, Kentucky, to Orlando International Airport, according to court papers obtained by Yahoo! News.
Finnister later blamed his behavior on downing “multiple alcoholic shots to calm his nerves prior to the flight, which he claimed was his first,” according to the documents.
If convicted, Finnister faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. He’s also the subject of investigations by Homeland Security and the United States Marshals Service.
