The drunken antics of a passenger aboard a three-hour Ryanair flight from Alicante to Newcastle, have landed him in jail. Meredith Gibbons brought his own alcohol onto the plane and upon it being confiscated, snuck into the galley to claim it back.
Once he had retrieved the alcohol, he then entered the toilet to consume it. Gibbons' refusal to observe safety rules led cabin crew to become so concerned, they contacted air traffic control who in turn asked the police for assistance.
Upon landing at Newcastle International Airport, Gibbons' continued to act in a disorderly manner. A member of the ground staff had to help a PC subdue him, reports ChronicleLive.
