A passenger arrested after landing in Denver yesterday exposed himself to another passenger and masturbated under a blanket, according to an FBI Criminal Complaint obtained by 9Wants to Know.
Murali Krishna Nookella faces a charge of crimes aboard an aircraft.
He went before a federal judge this afternoon and was released on a $5,000 unsecured bond. The judge ordered him not to fly.
The incident happened on Southwest Airlines flight 228 from Philadelphia to Denver. Law enforcement removed Nookella as soon as the plane made its scheduled landing in Denver and the flight continued on to California.
A passenger seated next to Nookella says she saw him fumbling underneath a blanket. She then looked over and says she saw him exposing himself.
The passenger reported what she saw to a flight attendant who informed the captain, the complaint says.
