Jason Felix won’t be flying again any time soon, and he could even end up spending a whopping 20 years behind bars for his outburst on an American Airlines flight from St Croix in the US Virgin Islands to Miami.

The FBI are now involved, and there’s plenty of footage of how it all went down, so I guess Felix isn’t going to be able to wriggle out of this one too easily.

According to the Independent, here’s how it all played out:

Approximately one hour into the flight, Mr Felix rang the flight attendant to purchase another beer. The flight attendant refused after he had been spotted by that flight attendant rummaging around the back of plane opening and closing cabinets in the rear bathroom earlier in the flight.

He had slammed the door shut and locked it when a flight attendant approached to ask if he was all right. When he emerged from the bathroom, he appeared agitated and was cursing at the attendant all the way back to his seat, 17 B, a middle seat…

Once the flight attendant denied Mr Felix another beer, he climbed over his police officer seatmate and began chasing after the flight attendant, screaming obscenities, the FBI said.

“You need to please sit down. You’re not drinking any more beers. We’ll be there in an hour,” he told Mr Felix.

“Are you my bartender?” Mr Felix asked the attendant, to which they replied “yes,” as he walked away.

Burn.

So here’s just one of his altercations with a flight attendant:

And then the subsequent meltdown once he was denied further alcohol:

Sheesh, bro, everyone wants to crush a cold one with the boys but you need to take that advice and chill out.

I reckon the face tattoo was the first warning sign that Mr Felix might not be a choirboy.

More on the aftermath:

Four police officers boarded the plane in Miami and escorted the unruly passenger into the airport where he was arrested for attempting to interfere with a flight crew, a sentence that could carry up to 20 years in jail.

He will appear in court on Tuesday in Florida.

Y’all just fly safely, now.
