TOKYO —Japan Airlines had to cancel a flight from Honolulu to Narita airport, east of Tokyo, last week as a 53-year-old copilot was detained by police in Hawaii for urinating in a park, the airline said Monday. The cancellation of JAL Flight 75 that was scheduled to leave Honolulu on Thursday forced the 297 passengers to take other flights, according to JAL officials. ‘‘We deeply apologize for causing inconvenience to passengers who planned to take the flight and to other people concerned,’’ a JAL public relations official said.

The copilot drank a bottle of wine and five bottles of beer in Honolulu on Tuesday night before taking a walk and urinating in the park, according to JAL officials. A police officer saw him urinating and took the copilot to a police station. He was detained for two nights before being released Thursday morning after paying a $25 fine for violating a State of Hawaii law...

I'm guessing he must have been really drunk after all that booze and must have done something stupid when the cops confronted him.

I've lived in Hawaii all my life and this is the first I've heard of anyone getting arrested for pissing in the park.

I've done much worse in parks.

I'd bet this co-pilot probably doesn't move up to the pilots chair too quickly.

Two nights in jail? I can understand holding him the first night, because he sounds like he was plastered, but why a second night?

There have been many times when I can't find a bathroom when I have been out walking in different locals. Parks (bushes, ally ways, etc) work fine in a pinch (if secluded).

Could have been a language barrier. Also maybe he didn't have the money to pay the fine?
