The man was on a Delta Airlines flight, trying to find an empty seat.
Wicliff Yves Fleurizard is a ski bum from Texas who was on a snowboarding excursion in Utah.
However, he needed to return home to meet with his family, who were flying in from Florida.
He remained in the lavatory until the plane was ready to taxi.
He then exited and headed straight to the aft restroom.
He claimed his seat was 21F, but that seat was already occupied on the soldout flight.
Attendants verified the 21F passenger had a legitimate boarding pass and that Fleurizard’s was a fake.
The pilot returned to the gate, and authorities arrested the man.
