INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The man was very drunk, misbehaved with his co-fliers and then urinated in a magazine pouch
To paraphrase an old air travel axiom: What goes in must come out, one way or another.There
are approximately seven fluid ounces in a double vodka tonic - give or take, depending on how generous Frontier Airlines is with the
pour.Michael Allen Haag ordered his first one during the first cart service Thursday evening, according to the FBI - shortly after the plane
took off from Denver, with hundreds of miles to go before it reached Charleston, South Carolina.Haag was assigned to a middle seat, but this
didn't seem to bother him, as his fellow passengers would later recall in their interviews with police.Two women sat on either side of him
One, by the window, was already asleep with her head on the tray table
The other was awake in the aisle seat, and she wore a tank top that - she would later tell the FBI - Haag seemed very interested in.Haag
told the woman he was "physically excited" because he was flying to see his old girlfriend, an FBI agent wrote in a federal affidavit
As she recalled the conversation, he kept staring at her chest.She put on headphones and tried to fall asleep, but Haag wouldn't stop asking
her questions, she said.What sort of men did she like Oh, she was married What sort of relationship did she have with her husband What was
her "deal," she said Haag asked her, when she made it clear she did not want to talk.Haag's first double was gone by now, the FBI agent
wrote, so he ordered a second vodka tonic of the flight, the FBI agent wrote
.Haag's attention apparently shifted to the woman on his right
She recalled waking very suddenly, to discover that a 45-year-old man she did not know was touching her fingers."Stop touching me," she told
He apologized, according to the affidavit - but then kept apologizing, over and over, as he cornered her against the window."Back off," she
said.When Haag allegedly touched her leg, she started to yell.About a dozen rows back, at the rear of the plane, a woman identified only as
Emily had also been asleep
She more or less had the whole row to herself.But now she woke suddenly, too, to the sound of an uproar in Row 25
The woman in the window seat next to Haag was standing straight up, the FBI agent wrote, calling for a flight attendant."I hear a woman
touches me one more time, I'll
kill him," Emily told KDVR, including the expletives she heard.Then Emily watched with growing concern as a flight attendant marched Haag to
the back of the plane and gave him his own private row - directly across the aisle from her.The man was at least very drunk, Emily thought
to herself, as Haag took his new seat and fumbled for his seat belt."He was out of his mind," Emily said
He was mumbling."In the FBI agents words, Haag was "clearly intoxicated and possibly high
But a flight attendant helped buckle him in, and for a while he seemed to go passive.Sleep now behind her, Emily took out her phone,
thinking she would take a furtive picture of the strange man to show her friends.And then, the FBI wrote, Haag unbuckled himself.Emily
shared two pictures with the CBS affiliate in Denver
In the first, Haag is slouched in his chair, his hands apparently folded over his lap.Her second photo, taken a few minutes later, looks no
different - except for the thin, clear fountain arcing from between the man's hands, seeming to land inside the magazine pouch in front of
his knees."And I scream," Emily recalled
peeing! He's peeing! Oh my God!"And he was indeed peeing, the FBI agent wrote -- emptying two double vodka tonics and who knows what else
