An Apple accountant has been arrested over claims he snuck onto a Delta flight using a picture he took of a child's boarding pass and hid in the bathroom until the plane taxied.
Wicliff Wves Fleurizard, 26, has been charged with one count of stowing away on a vessel or aircraft following the incident in Salt Lake City on March 17.
He is accused of taking photos of the boarding passes of unsuspecting passengers and using his phone to board the flight to Austin, Texas, according to a criminal complaint filed in Utah federal court.
Fleurizard allegedly spent a 'significant amount of time' in the bathroom and only came out once boarding was complete and the aircraft doors were secured.
However, a flight attendant noticed there were no empty seats and found he did not have a valid ticket and the aircraft was forced to return to the gate where he was arrested.
