Man's shameless two words as he's arrested immediately after Jet2 flight lands at UK airport

A drunk Jet2 passenger who tried to expose himself in front of horrified travellers uttered a flippant two words when he was arrested by police. Jack Breheny, 32, who was returning from a trip to Salou in Spain to get over a break-up, was spared an immediate jail sentence after he told a court he was "deeply ashamed". At around 10pm on October 3 last year, police were called to the aircraft as soon as it landed at Manchester Airport in response to reports of a 'very intoxicated' passenger seated with his twin brother, armed with 'plastic shards' running amok during the flight.
Prosecutor Hayley Parkes told Manchester Crown Court on Tuesday afternoon that it later emerged he was not, in fact, armed with plastic shards and when police boarded the aircraft officers concluded that "it was immediately obvious that the defendant was heavily intoxicated".
Flight attendants told officers Breheny had been running up and down the plane 'trying to expose himself' in front of shocked passengers, Miss Parkes told the court. The defendant's twin brother "prevented this to an extent", said the prosecutor, but the defendant began "shouting and screaming" and locked himself on a toilet. When crew finally opened the door, they found him seated and fully clothed.
Upon his arrest on arrival in Manchester, the court was told how unemployed Breheny was at first "compliant", offering out his hands to the arresting officers and telling them "take me" before they handcuffed him. But a statement from one of the officers read out in court detailed how the defendant "fell over immediately" in front of him and then began to display 'resistance'.
