Jack Breheny, 32, was so drunk on board the flight from Spain to Manchester Airport he fell over when police handcuffed him
A drunken passenger on a Jet2 holiday flight ran up down the aisle 'trying to expose himself' and was so intoxicated he fell over when police tried to arrest him.
It later emerged he was not, in fact, armed with plastic shards and when police boarded the aircraft officers concluded that 'it was immediately obvious that the defendant was heavily intoxicated', Miss Parkes told the court. He was loaded onto a waiting police van and driven to the airport police station but his behaviour 'was becoming more disorderly' and he began making threats to the officers, the prosecutor told the court. Rather than being interviewed, the defendant was placed straight into a police cell 'due to the risk' he posed, said Miss Parkes.
Breheny had no previous convictions apart from one reprimand and one caution when he was a youth, the court was told. Adam Roxborough, defending, told the court his client had been on a week-long holiday in Salou, Spain, paid for by the brother to get over a recent break up suffered by the defendant. Breheny had taken the break-up 'badly', he said.
The barrister said his client had been shouting in the toilet 'because he could not in his situation unlock it - that's an indicator of the state of his inebriation'. Judge Goddard told the defendant: "Your behaviour was appalling. It's the sort of behaviour that caused distress and upset for those on the plane having to watch the way you behaved."
