Rich people are acting up once again thinking they own the world and everyone in it.
An heir to the French fashion house Hermes has been accused of assaulting a jetliner pilot and interfering with the flight.
Mathias Guerrand-Hermès has been accused trying to punch the captain and grabbing the captain’s crotch.
The crime carries a possible penalty of 20 years in prison if convicted.
According to documents Mr. Guerrand-Hermès decided to sit on the arm rest of a woman in first class. The flight crew asked him to return to his seat but he refused and the captain was summoned.
This is when Mr. Guerrand-Hermès grabbed the pilots crotch. The captain then pushed Mr. Guerrand-Hermès away and a flight attendant ushered him to another seat.
The captain at this point instructed Mr. Guerrand-Hermès to behave. But Mr. Guerrand-Hermès responded, “I am not going to behave myself,” according to documents, and tried to punch the captain.
At this point the flight crew just tackled him and “after a struggle of about a minute, the captain and three male flight attendants were able to restrain Mr. Guerrand-Hermès with handcuffs and shackles, the complaint said. He was then tied to his seat.”
We want a video! And why is the heir of one the most exclusive French fashion houses flying commercial? Guess the rich really are hurting!
