A Texas man allegedly snuck onto a Delta Airlines flight in Salt Lake City using a snapshot of a passenger’s boarding pass – he was only caught because the flight was entirely booked and he had nowhere to sit, according to federal prosecutors.
Wicliff Yves Fleurizard of George, Texas, now faces a felony charge for being a stowaway on an aircraft, according to a police affidavit filed in federal district court.
Security footage from Salt Lake City’s Department of Airports shows Fleurizard chatting with a male passenger beside him as groups were called to board the Austin-bound plane on March 17.
As the man stands up and unfurls his folded pass, Fleurizard can be seen pulling out his smartphone and snapping a photo. He then shakes the man’s hand and lines up to board the plane.
The Texas man was seen on the footage allegedly photographing several other passengers’ phones and passes at gate A2 of Salt Lake City International Airport when they weren’t looking, according to the affidavit.
After boarding the craft, Fleurizard opened a door to a storage space for emergency equipment. A flight attendant, thinking he was confused, helped him to the lavatory at the front of the plane, according to the affidavit.
