Alaska Airlines passenger allegedly groped seatmate, told her ‘We’re all going to die’

A drunk passenger precipitated a ruckus aboard an Alaska Airways flight — allegedly groping his seatmate, lighting up a cigarette and telling her, “We’re all going to die” — earlier than he was restrained by two off-duty cops.

Adam David Seymour, 37, was flying from Seattle to Anchorage aboard Flight 49 on April 5 when he started harassing a girl who had initially discovered him to be pleasant, in line with a legal grievance obtained by The Submit.

The lady, recognized as D.S., stated Seymour’s grotesque conduct began shortly after he pulled three travel-size bottles — coloured pink, inexperienced and blue — from the seat pocket and drank one thing from the inexperienced one, the doc stated.

He then ordered and drank two bottles of Jack Daniels with Coke, after which “he began slurring his phrases, started transferring bodily nearer to D.S., rubbed her decrease thigh and knee on the internal and outer areas with out her consent and tried to relaxation his head on her shoulder.”

Seymour allegedly made a number of feedback about her sexuality, together with that he thought she “appeared like a lesbian,” and talked about licking her “down there,” in line with the courtroom submitting.

The lady stated she leaned away from Seymour and tried to disregard the sicko’s questions and sexual feedback out of concern of triggering him additional.

He then advised her that “We’re all going to die,” as he gestured along with his arms in a approach she interpreted as displaying the aircraft crashing, the doc says.

As she tried to get the eye of the flight attendants, the suspect advised her he “might p—- actual good” and tapped his hand over a blanket that she positioned on her lap — instantly over her genitals.

“D.S. instantly closed her legs, leaned ahead, and turned her again to him,” the doc states. “A number of moments later she heard a sparking sound and turned to see Seymour holding an ignited lighter and lit cigarette.”

When she advised him smoking was not allowed, he allegedly stated, “I’m a nasty individual.”

The determined girl lastly wrote a message on her telephone and slid it to a person and girl sitting in entrance of her — who turned out to be off-duty cops.

After studying the plea for assist, the male officer referred to as a crew member who moved the lady to a different seat.

However Seymour continued his unhinged conduct, threatening to kill a male passenger seated by the window, in line with the courtroom doc.

The off-duty cops then restrained the suspect with flex cuffs and moved him to a bounce seat, the place he managed to interrupt free earlier than being tied once more.

The person within the window seat advised authorities that he noticed Seymour manhandling the “clearly uncomfortable” girl.

After she was moved, the male passenger advised Seymour to “keep in his lane. Sit down and shut up. Go away folks alone,” the submitting states.

“I’m going to kill you,” Seymour allegedly advised him.

The suspect “groped me, assaulted a girl, threatened my life, and was clearly so wasted it was inconceivable to inform if he would explode,” the person stated.

Two flight attendants stopped serving alcohol after they realized concerning the incident.

“He was clearly inebriated and snuck his personal alcohol on the aircraft,” one in every of them stated.

One flight attendant requested Seymour what he was consuming and he replied, “Hand sanitizer,” in line with the filling.

Airport police in Anchorage swabbed Seymour’s arms, which triggered an alarm “for the presence of cocaine,” the affidavit stated.

The suspect, who refused a Breathalyzer take a look at, was charged Friday in Anchorage federal courtroom with assault with intent to commit a felony.

He was transported to the Anchorage Correctional Heart and has since been launched from custody, the Alaska Every day Information reported.
