According to a Miami-Dade County Police Department report, Berry was on the flight from Philadelphia to Miami the afternoon of July 31.

The report states he ordered three alcoholic beverages from a flight attendant and then brushed an empty cup against the attendant’s backside. He then allegedly spilled a new drink on his shirt and went to the bathroom, coming out shirtless.

The attendant told him to put on a shirt and helped him get a new shirt out of his carry-on.

According to the police report, Berry continued to walk around the plane and then groped the breasts of a second flight attendant. He then allegedly put his arms around the two attendants and groped their breasts.

Berry is also accused of punching a third flight attendant in the face after the attendant took over monitoring the 22-year-old, asking him several times to calm down and remain seated.

According to the police report, a fight ensued, and nearby passengers restrained Berry and taped him to his seat, tying him with a seatbelt extender for the rest of the flight.

Berry was arrested when the plane landed.

Frontier Airlines issued the following statement:

“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 an investigation.”
