Lewis Howarth became violent, kicking out at officers and trying to bite one on the arm
A drunken passenger was forcibly removed from a Jet2 flight to Turkey after consuming half a bottle of whisky and directing a barrage of foul language towards cabin crew.
"He was taken to the floor and handcuffed, and was described as thrashing his head towards the passengers and officers. He was restrained on the floor of the aisle, and once outside he continued shouting abuse towards the officers." "No you're not," the officer replied. When Howarth was told he was being arrested for being drunk on a plane, he began laughing and said: "No I'm not, you little rat, you f****** d***heads, rat b******s."
He was 'chastised' by his fiancé for being drunk, which triggered his behaviour, he added. "He had the hangover of all hangovers," Mr Staunton added.The court heard Howarth, from Bolton, part-owns a building company and is a successful installer. He had also done various work for the community and appeared on TV doing DIY emergencies.
