A Colorado man is facing federal charges after allegedly refusing to wear a mask while on board an Alaska Airlines flight and urinating in the cockpit, according to a new report.
According to police, 24-year-old Landon Grier from Canon City spoke to a flight attendant who asked him to wear a mask while trying to sleep on the flight from Seattle to Denver, according to the Associated Press.
The FAA requires all domestic passengers traveling on U.S. aircraft to wear face masks at all times.
Later, another passenger called flight attendants back to Grier’s area of the cabin because he was urinating in his seat section.
Grier allegedly admitted to drinking before boarding the plane and told FBI investigators that he was “awakened by the air hostess who told him he was peeing.”
“He said he had no recollection of hitting the flight attendant and that he did not know if he was peeing,” police said in an incident report.
