Man Is Duct Taped To Seat After Groping Woman On Flight To Miami

An Ohio man was taped to his seat by other passengers on a Frontier Airlines flight after allegedly assaulting and groping flight attendants on the plane, according to KTLA sister station WJW in Cleveland, Ohio.

Maxwell Berry, 22, was arrested when the plane landed and could face three charges of battery in the case, WJW reports.

Berry was on the flight from Philadelphia to Miami the afternoon of July 31, the Miami-Dade Police Department said.

A police report states he ordered three alcoholic beverages from a flight attendant, and then brushed an empty cup against the attendant’s backside. He then allegedly spilled a new drink on his shirt and went to the bathroom, coming out shirtless.

The attendant told him to put on a shirt and helped him get a new shirt out of his carry-on.

Berry continued to walk around the plane and then groped the breasts of a second flight attendant, according to the police report. He then allegedly put his arms around the two attendants and groped their breasts.

Berry is also accused of punching a third flight attendant in the face after the attendant took over the job of monitoring the 22-year-old, asking him several times to calm down and remain seated.

Video captured by another passenger shows a fight ensued. Nearby passengers restrained Berry and taped him to his seat, tying him with a seatbelt extender for the rest of the flight, according to the police report.
