A report in The Courier Mail says that a drunken man spat coffee at three fellow Jetstar passengers because he thought they were acting in a “snooty” manner, a court has been told.
Andrew Ian Sharman, 40, from Turners Beach in Tasmania, was travelling from Launceston to Brisbane on Wednesday when he became drunk and rowdy.
The Brisbane Magistrate’s Court was yesterday told Sharman became annoyed when two women and a man sitting across the aisle refused to engage in conversation with him.
He then turned and spat his drink at the trio, asking: “How’s the coffee?”
After spitting coffee a second time, cabin crew isolated Sharman, who was arrested upon landing.
He pleaded guilty to three counts of common assault and was fined $2400.
