A face mask is the only thing that has saved many from contracting the virus and also provides a safety guard to others as well. But there are still some people who refuse to understand the advantages of wearing a mask. In one such case, a 24-year-old man Landon Grier, from Colorado, not only refused to wear a mask but also disrupted an Alaska Airlines flight by standing up and urinating on the plane seat. According to the Associated Press, the FBI arrested Landon Grier after his flight landed on March 9, according to an affidavit filed in US District Court in Denver. 

The affidavit further states that Grier seemed to be trying to sleep and ignored an attendant’s constant request when she asked him repeatedly to put on his mask and was later summoned by the passengers when he started urinating in his seat area. One of the flight attendants noticed Grier was exposing himself but when she asked him to cover himself up he responded by telling her: “I have to pee”.

After his arrest, Grier told FBI agents that he had drunk three to four beers, also a couple of shots before boarding his connecting flight from Seattle to Denver. 

“He stated he had no recollection of hitting the flight attendant and didn’t know if he was peeing,” FBI Special Agent Martin Daniell III said.

In a statement, Alaska Airlines said: “We will not tolerate any disturbance onboard our aircraft or at any of the airports we serve.”

Grier has appeared in court on Thursday and was released after depositing a $10,000 bond pending his next court appearance set for March 26. He now faces a federal charge of conflicting with a flight crew and attendants that carries a maximum term of 20 years in prison and a possible US$250,000 ($386,000) fine if found guilty, as per the AP report.
