- He pleaded guilty to endangering the safety of an aircraft on 4 August 2015. He was on a (Jet 2) flight from Madeira to Newcastle when he had to be restrained after he attempted to open the rear door of the aeroplane during the flight.
The judge said: "The cabin crew have said that this was a harrowing and traumatic experience for them... I have to take into account several things, such as the fact that you are HIV-positive and attempted to bite people... The passengers and crew could not escape you... Considering all these matters, it seems to me that an immediate custodial sentence can be justified" - Case Timeline
