American Airlines Passenger Arrested After Exposing Himself And Urinating In Aisle Mid-Flight
A drunken man aboard an American Airlines flight forced the aircraft to make an emergency landing.
Unruly passenger Neil McCarthy of Oregon — who had allegedly barreled through several "Jack and Cokes" — reportedly exposed himself before carelessly urinating in the craft's aisle Wednesday, per a criminal complaint obtained by 'Fox 13.'
The 25-year-old was aboard flight 3921 from Chicago to Manchester, New Hampshire. However, the flight was diverted to Buffalo, New York, at around 1p.m., per the news outlet.

Upon arrival, the offensive passenger was met with police when he admitted that he likes to drink "Jack and Cokes," and guzzled multiple down before he boarded the flight, and several more before his layover in Chicago.
He also stated per the news outlet that he had gotten up to use the restroom and when he came back he was "flicking the bean," allegedly related to a medical urination condition he has. According to police, video footage was captured by a fellow passenger sitting in row 2, which spotted McCarthy exposing himself and urinating in the open in front of everyone aboard.
Officials obtained statements from staff, in addition to one flight attendant who initially pointed the drunken man out. The airline reported that the plane was rerouted "due to a disruptive customer."
"The aircraft was met by law enforcement upon arrival at BUF and re-departed shortly after," the statement partly reads, per the news outlet. "We thank our team members for their professionalism and our customers for their understanding."
McCarthy is currently facing the maximum penalty, including a hefty $5,000 fine and six months behind bars. He was charged under Title 49, United States Code, Section 46506 with exposing his genitals.
