He was sentenced to 60 days in jail, followed by one year of supervised release, fined $2,500, and ordered to pay $1,500 in restoration over his August 1, 2021 incident onboard a Frontier Airlines flight to Miami.
Jordan Galarza, who struck Berry in the face with a closed fist, and Tymerah Burgess, who had her breasts groped by Berry, were both present at the sentencing hearing and decided Berry's light sentence.
“He made an enemy of everyone on that flight. The people on that aircraft saw justice happen — more than what we saw today.
“I think it’s a disgusting miscarriage of justice, in my opinion.”
Berry's attorney apologized on behalf of his client and Berry's family, stating he was a good kid who just had a bad day and was sorry for his actions.
A male flight attendant and two female flight attendants were groped by a 22-year-old man on a Frontier Airlines flight to Miami.
The witnesses claim that Berry was drinking before his flight. He became unruly and refused to follow the flight attendant instructions. The passenger said that he groped the breasts of two flight attendants before attacking the male flight attendant. There is a police report.
He came up from behind and put his arms around both of them and groped their breasts again.
Rather than divert, the captain of the flight chose to continue on to Miami. Berry was duct-taped to his seat for the rest of the flight. Berry was duct-taped to his seat. He calmed down before the flight.
He was arrested when he arrived in Miami. He was charged with three counts ofmisdemeanor battery. He is facing a large fine from the Federal Aviation Administration because of its strict new policy meant to deter poor behavior onboard which worsened during the Pandemic.
Frontier Airlines made a note of it.
“During a flight from Philadelphia to Miami on July 31, a passenger made inappropriate physical contact with a flight attendant and subsequently physically assaulted another flight attendant.
“As a result, the passenger needed to be restrained until the flight landed in Miami and law enforcement arrived. The flight attendants will be, as required in such circumstances, relieved of flying pending completion of investigation of the events.”
There will be more calls to restrict alcohol sales onboard after this incident. Duct-tape is a better option than diversions.
