Samuel Lackey, 32, was arrested after sneaking onto a JetBlue aircraft at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida and falling asleep in the toilet, People reported.
Lackey climbed over a fence and entered the airliner cabin during aircraft maintenance on the night of August 1. Once workers completed the maintenance procedure, they closed the plane and towed it to a parking area. Airport staff found Lackey sleeping in the toilet on the morning of August 2.
Delay and Arrest
The incident delayed the aircraft from reaching its boarding gate, costing JetBlue $2,400, or 195.3 thousand rubles. Police arrested Lackey for aircraft theft involving a break-in and held him in Broward County Jail.
In an earlier case, a man snuck into a closed European airport, ate at a cafe, and spent the night on a plane before inspectors found certificates of psychiatric treatment on him.
