He’s charged with interfering with a flight crew, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
A Delta Airlines passenger could spend years in prison after causing numerous disturbances on a recent flight from Ireland to the U.S. On January 7, Shane McInerney,29, was traveling from Dublin to New York City when he allegedly refused to comply with a mask mandate despite repeated insistence from the crew. At one point, after complaining about the food served during the flight, McInerney got out of his seat and pulled down his pants, exposing his buttocks to other passengers and members of the flight crew, according to Sky News, which reported on legal papers filed in New York. McInerney allegedly became belligerent when confronted by the pilot and threw a can that struck another passenger.
