Meet Mathias Guerrand-Hermes: Polo player, heir to the French fashion house Hermès, petulant crotch-grabber. The 36-year-old socialite is in the papers today after being arraigned in Brooklyn federal court over a nasty incident aboard an Air France flight from Paris to JFK on Tuesday. Prosecutors say it all started when Guerrand-Hermes—loaded on booze and the pain medication Propofan—began pestering a female passenger in first class. When her husband told him to step off, Guerrand-Hermes, who was perched on the lady's armrest, simply moved in closer.
Then things (allegedly!) got heavy. The crew members ordered the drunken Hermes back to his seat, but he refused. Then the captain emerged from the cockpit to try and smooth things over by relocating Guerrand-Hermes to a different seat. In retaliation, the Post says the "haute-head" reached out and "grabbed the captain's genital area." The pilot shoved him and instructed the crew to move him a few rows back, ordering Guerrand-Hermes to behave. According to the complaint, his response, "I am not going to behave myself," as he tried to punch the pilot.
After tackling him to the floor, it took the captain and three male flight attendants to restrain Guerrand-Hermes with handcuffs and shackles, and he remained tied to his seat for the rest of the flight. After a brief court appearance yesterday—Newsday reports that he had a cut below his lip and his blue long-sleeved shirt was torn—he was released on $50,000 bond and given back his belt and shoelaces. He's charged with one count of interfering with flight crew members, which the Times says which carries a maximum of six months in prison as long as there is no previous criminal history. Confronted by a Post reporter outside his East 75th Street building, Guerrand-Hermes wondered, "What are you doing at my house? Will you please leave my house before the police come?"

"Haute head"! I love it!
Maximum 6 months for attacking the pilot on a plane? I seem to recall the penalty for smoking in the bathroom on board is about 5 years.
Anyway, the rich and famous are not subject to the same laws as us peasants.
Definitely - if this was some rando, he'd be at Guantanamo right now.
If you have enough money and family connections you can crash planes into buildings and the President will let it slide and hang another guy.
Next story, please.
I just know there's a joke involving the work "cockpit" in here somewhere, but I'm damned if I can find it.
He won't do any time. Rich boy, first-class ticket... If it were another fellow, the air marshall would have used necessary force.
Not as funny a story as the one about the i-banker in first class who took a dump on the food cart and used linen napkins as t.p.
Ne pas me tase, frère!

Priceless.
"I seem to recall the penalty for smoking in the bathroom on board is about 5 years."
Not at all. There is no jail time for smoking or disabling the smoke detector. It's a fine of a few thousand dollars.
What usually happens, though, is that these idiots then interfere with the flight crew, or assault someone, which can easily result in jail time (up to 20 years on an interference charge!).
they should of taken him to the Denver airport.
I know it's terrible, but I find this kind of childish behavior deeply amusing.
I hope he does the full six months though.
I can't believe the pilot came out of the cockpit. In the post-9/11 era, isn't it standard airline practice to always have the cockpit door locked and flight crew inside no matter what happens in the cabin?

Surprised me too. I mean, it's nice seeing that a beatdown was administered to this jackass. But I don't think it's really the best judgment to expose the pilots like that.
They should sentence him to six months of being seen in public dressed in nothing but off-the-rack suits. Oh, the agony!
#8 FTW.
"I was in 'Nam with a jerk like you."
#16, lol.
"You people can keep this city."
I'm still shocked that he was being a dick head 'pestered the female passenger' with her husband present. Obviously a case of a spoiled gazillionaire getting his own way all the time. I'd demand a free Kelly bag to compensate for mental anguish.
Propofan? You can't make this shit up! BTW what were the monetary damages to his attire?
Guys like this clown should only be allowed to fly zero tolerance El Al where an armed security person would have dealt with him summarily.
