An American Airlines flight to Manchester was diverted to Buffalo after a man allegedly exposed himself.
A 25-year-old Oregon man was arrested and charged on Wednesday with indecent exposure after the flight landed at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
The American Eagle flight #AA3921 departed Chicago, IL, to Manchester, NH on Wednesday, July 3 2024 when the incident occurred.
A passenger allegedly exposed himself and urinated on the plane’s aisle, according to a criminal complaint.
After the plane touched down, the passenger was arrested by police, who boarded the plane and escorted him off.
The man told officers he was flying from Portland, Oregon, to Manchester and had several whiskey and colas before boarding the flight, and then more of them during a layover in Chicago and after boarding there.
He was released after making an initial appearance in federal court in Buffalo, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of New York.
