Drunk, Nude Condor Passenger Assaults Crew, Threatens Baby

A transatlantic Condor Airlines flight made an emergency landing after a passenger stripped off his clothes and ran amok at 40,000 feet.
A Condor Airlines flight from Cancún International Airport (CUN) to Frankfurt Airport (FRA) was forced to make an unscheduled stop at Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) to remove an agitated, naked passenger. The disruptive flyer reportedly completely disrobed, exposed himself in the aisle of the plane in full view of children, slapped a flight attendant and threatened a three-year-old child, before eventually being restrained.
Eyewitnesses on the flight say the out-of-control passenger started causing trouble before the plane even left the terminal. The allegedly intoxicated British national identified by the Daily Mail as 34-year-old Oliver Charles Halliday Gee, is said to have demanded alcoholic beverages almost as soon as he boarded the flight.
Fellow passengers say Gee’s behavior did not improve once the plane was in the air. The nasty passenger is said to have threatened to kill a nearby seatmate as well as “intimidating” and threatening to harm a toddler. It wasn’t until he decided that he needed to urinate, however, that Gee allegedly became physically violent.
“He got up, took off his t-shirt and his pants, and kept shouting ‘I prefer drugs to alcohol,’” a fellow passenger told the newspaper.
According to others onboard, Gee soon thereafter announced that he intended to urinate in the cabin. Rather than allowing him to pee in the aisle, a crew member and another volunteer instead helped Gee to the lavatory. The less-than-grateful troublemaker then slapped each of the two for their trouble. After assaulting the pair, he is also said to have matter-of-factly warned them that “he knew people in Mexico who would gladly kill for him.”
At this point, passengers and crew members managed to restrain the alarmingly creepy passenger until the aircraft could make an emergency landing in Florida. Gee was later turned over to FBI agents at JAX after being escorted from the plane by local police.
