Man stripped, hit another passenger, fought with Southwest crew members
OAKLAND, Calif. - Authorities say a St. Louis-bound Southwest Airlines flight was forced to return to Oakland International Airport after a male passenger stripped, hit another passenger and fought with crew members.
Alameda County sheriff's deputies say Flight 947 returned Thursday morning after 21-year-old Darius Chappille of Oakland allegedly exposed himself to the female passenger sitting next to him and punched her in the face.
Lt. Howard Jacobs says flight attendants and other passengers then subdued Chappille, as he disrobed. He was apparently completely naked when sheriff's deputies arrested him.
Chappille and the woman were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
A Southwest Airlines representative says the flight took off from Oakland again later.

That's what amazes me about this kind of thing. Its not like nobody is going to notice. Its not like the police are going to be baffled as to who the trouble maker is when they get on the plane. Not really like you could deny that you are problem when you are the only nekkid person on the plane.

Those don't have nekkid flights do they? Could you see it, a flight for nudists on the way to a vacation spot or something? That must make packing a breeze.

I'm just glad that wasn't me sitting next to him.
