Man who exposed buttocks on flight charged for plane ruckus

NEW YORK (AP) — An Irish man on a Delta flight from Dublin to New York is facing up to 20 years in prison on a federal charge after authorities say he created “numerous disturbances” on a Jan. 7 flight. According to a federal complaint unsealed Friday, Shane McInerney, 29, of Galway, refused to wear a mask, threw a can that hit another passenger, and pulled down his pants and exposed his buttocks to a flight attendant. He made a court appearance last week and was released on bond. His attorney, Benjamin Yaster, declined to comment.
