On a Southwest flight, a man was detained after allegedly airdropping a picture of himself having oral sex on Saturday with unidentified passengers.
The passenger, Larry, was called out by passengers and spoke to by a member of the flight crew in a popular TikTok video.
In the clip, Larry admits his mistake and offers his condolences to the crew member, claiming he was “just having some fun.”
The poster said in a later video that after being reprimanded, Larry kept staring at the image he had posted. She claimed that Larry was led off the aircraft, and she and a select group of other passengers spoke with FBI agents.
Southwest representatives acknowledged the event took place on a trip from Detroit to Denver in a statement to The New York Post. According to the airline, Larry was detained when he arrived.
@daddystrange333Lawrence Martin from Texas, grossssssss. I saw his ipad had airdrop open so I knew it was him, and yes, i sure did make a scene
‘Meet Larry, who just airdropped a whole flight photos of his peepee,’ a caption on the video read.
The TikTok showed a middle aged man with sparse white hair and dark framed glasses, sitting in an aisle seat with an iPad propped up on his tray as a female flight attendant approached him.
‘This man is Airdropping inappropriate photos, I don’t think we should look at it,’ the woman filming told the attendant, pointing at the man.
The flight attendant asked the man if he did it, and if he is Larry, which he confirmed.
‘Why are you doing that?’ she asked.
‘Just having a little fun,’ he responded.
‘It’s sexual harassment, mainly, disgusting, it is assault,’ the woman filming then said.
‘My apologies,’ Larry said in response.
‘So, that’s going to be an issue,’ the flight attended then said before the video cuts off.
The woman who recorded the incident went on to say that she had accepted an airdrop request from “Larry’s iPad” when the obscene photo of Larry suddenly surfaced.
She claimed she witnessed the man across the aisle opening his iPad and choosing which devices to transmit AirDrops to right away.
The man said that he had sent the picture on purpose and that he had sent it to other individuals when the woman asked if he had sent the picture.
She claimed that after that she phoned the flight attendant and recorded the argument.
The woman saw that there were other kids seated close to Larry, including one in the seat behind him who she guessed to be around seven years old.
The woman claimed that after the reprimand captured on camera, Larry kept looking at the picture on his iPad.
She claimed that the FBI informed her upon her arrival that they would attempt to book him for the weekend.
Southwest Airlines confirmed the terrible occurrence happened on a recent flight from Detroit to Denver, according to a statement to The Post.
The crew asked that local law enforcement officers meet the flight when it landed, which they did. The officers then captured the person in charge. “Our Flight Attendants swiftly addressed the problem,” the crew wrote.
Southwest Airlines maintains a zero-tolerance policy for this vulgar and inappropriate behavior, and we sincerely apologize to the other passengers on board.
Law enforcement has not yet released any details about the event.
