When the judge handed down Sims' sentence, Sims read a statement admitting to drinking too much and apologized for his actions to his family, the court, Breeze Airways and everyone who was aboard the flight. Sims was arguing with his travel companion, a woman identified as 'TC', on the flight and said twice that she had a bomb on the plane, according to a court document. TC repeatedly told Sims to be quiet, the document states, saying his comments were making nearby passengers uncomfortable.
A flight attendant said it appeared Sims was satisfied with the announcement and was smirking in his seat, while other passengers appeared upset, according to court records.
