Jail for drunk easyJet passenger
13.04.09
A 64 year old drunken air passenger who tried to headbutt security staff trying to remove him from the plane at Newcastle Airport has been jailed. Donald McDonald was drunk and aggressive when he got on the 07:20 easyJet flight to Paris, and refused to leave the plane after staff became concerned at his behaviour.
He swore and threatened members of the cabin crew before he was dragged off the plane by security staff, Newcastle Crown Court was told. He was arrested and admitted a charge of drunkenness on board an aircraft in September 2007 and breach of bail.
Mr McDonald, of South Parade, Whitley Bay, claimed he could not recall what had happened because he had taken a combination of alcohol and anti-depressants. Mr Recorder Lodge jailed him for three months, describing him as a 'drunken lout'.
