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!
