Kyle Pearce of Florida was flying from Spokane to Denver on May 19, when he shocked fellow passengers by masturbating in his coach-class United Airlines seat, according to an FBI affidavit filed in Denver on May 20, The Smoking Gun reports.

He was, not surprisingly, arrested when United flight 340 touched down in Denver. Pearce was charged with "obscene and indecent exposure of his person by exhibiting his penis and masturbating in plain view."

Tucked into seat 18D, Pearce allegedly started masturbating before he was caught in the act by his fellow passengers, according to paperwork filed by Special Agent Martin Daniell, III, an 11-year FBI veteran.

A passenger seated in 19D right behind Pearce told police "I hit him with my book in the arm, which caused him to stop and leave to the bathroom."

A woman unlucky enough to be seated next to Pearce in 18E told cops he was masturbating and that he, "ejaculated and got some on the seat."

After he ducked into the lavatory, passengers wondered aloud if Pearce was "stoned on marijuana," say court papers posted to The Smoking Gun.

For his in-flight masturbatory shenanigans, Pearce faces a maximum sentence of 90 days in jail with a year of supervised release and a fine of up to $5,000.

Eeew. Gross. This guy is a wacko. Anyone who does this in public needs serious help as do people who think the public wants to know all about it. What an idiot.

I jerk off when I smoke pot, put i just can't cum. It must've been something else. Maybe he was stressed out or claustrophobic. Why did the lady next door wait until he shot his load? Was she being polite? Plus, you don't hit someone with a book on a plane not matter what. That's an assault. They should've just spoken to him politely and maybe axed him to use the baffvroom. He would've had more armroom in there than in coach. And he coulda shot his load on the mirror or something cool like that. The whole thing was handled poorly by everyone involved.

The most poorly handled thing was the in-depth and moronic comments by you. Maybe someone should "axe" you to stay off your computer.

What an idiot. I think $5,000 is not a big enough fine.
Finally a headline that really hit the nail on the head... Pun intended...
