Eric Nicholas Gapco, Delanco, NJ man flying American Airlines attempts too have sex with flight attendant, open door mid-flight after admitting to eating ten weed edibles and becoming wildly disorientated.
‘It was definitely good sh*t…’ An unhinged New Jersey traveler ate too many weed edibles, then tried to have sex with a flight attendant along with allegedly attempting to open the plane’s door mid-flight — forcing an emergency landing in Utah, according to feds who arrested him.
Eric Nicholas Gapco, 26, of Delanco, was on American Airlines flight 2101 from Seattle to Dallas on July 18 when he started acting ‘unruly,‘ the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Utah stated in a release on Thursday.
Gapco took off his shirt and began puffing a vape pen, yelling and hitting on a crew member, propositioning her for sex, the release said.
‘I am insane!’
The errant passenger — who later admitted to eating 10 marijuana edibles before the outburst — allegedly also assaulted a flight attendant and tried to open the plane’s exterior doors ‘multiple times,’ according to federal officials.
Video footage recorded during the unfolding episode, allegedly shows Gapco bare-chested and shouting ‘I am sane!’ as crew members try to calm him near the plane’s bathroom, according to KSLTV.
When he refused to take his seat, flight attendants shackled his hands and feet with restraints — while the captain made an emergency landing in Salt Lake City, authorities said.
Define belligerent?
During the flight, Gapco allegedly also tried to hand another passenger a bag of unidentified pills, according to prosecutors.
He denied doing any illegal drugs but later told his arresting officer he ate ‘approximately 10 marijuana edibles’ — without having any clue how strong they were, according to court documents.
But there was more to come.
Upon touching down at Salt Lake City International Airport — Gapco was arrested but not before allegedly breaking a glass door and spitting on an officer during his arrest, the Daily Voice reported.
‘He continued to be belligerent’ and ‘combative with medical staff and the police,’ prosecutors wrote in a motion for his detention.
The incident is now being investigated by FBI Salt Lake City Field Office and Salt Lake City Police Department. Do you suppose…?
