Woman arrested for indecent exposure on plane


Passengers on a British Airways flight may have gotten a little in-flight entertainment they weren't asking for last week.

A 46-year-old woman from southwest London was arrested on suspicion of being drunk on an aircraft after she allegedly "indecently exposed herself" on the flight, Nigel Jarrett, a spokesman for the Sussex Police Department told Paste BN Network.

After the woman caused a "disruption" on the flight, the air crew asked police to meet them upon landing, according to Jarrett.

British Airways confirmed that police were requested to meet the flight from Kingston on March 19.

The woman was arrested about 8:45 a.m. local time and remained in custody on Thursday afternoon. She was given a "police caution" for being drunk prior to being released but was not charged.

Jarrett said they do not name suspects unless they are formally charged with an offense.

This isn't the first crazy in-flight story we've seen. Remember the rogue planker and the handsy passenger?
