ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A Florida man is accused of groping a female passenger while on a flight Sunday from Houston to Albuquerque and later telling authorities that the president of the United States says it’s OK to grab women by their private parts.
Bruce Michael Alexander, 49, of Tampa made his initial appearance in federal court Monday in Albuquerque on a charge of abusive sexual contact. It wasn’t immediately clear if he had an attorney.
According to a criminal complaint, a woman told authorities the man behind her touched her twice and that she told him to stop and asked to change seats.
Alexander recalled in a written statement only that the woman in front of him had spoken to him and then changed seats.
Alexander remains in custody pending a preliminary hearing and a detention hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
Is it just me? I feel like the last couple of days on this site I’m reading tabloid journalism. Makes me want to stop reading.
Sorry, man, it’s not just you. You, and all of us, are living in a tabloid reality thanks to Russian interference in the 2016 election inter alia.
The one flight where you really needed a female air marshal on board…
Brucey would have been a high soprano as he deplaned…
Thank dog we finally have a President who’s providing moral leadership.
But only if you’re famous.
And have that T rumpian jeux ne se qua.
