Mile High Club: Feds Nab Couple After Mid-Air Romp: Reports

FBI agents took the pair, who were strangers before the flight, into custody. They likely won't face criminal charges, though.

DETROIT, MI – A pair of travelers boarded a Detroit-bound flight in Los Angeles as strangers. During the flight, things got stranger. Perhaps, a bit too frisky, according media reports.

Other travelers aboard the Delta flight on Sunday complained that the 48-year-old woman was performing oral sex on the 28-year-old man, reported multiple media outlets. And, the act happened, not in the airplane lavatory, but while the couple were in their seats.

The couple, who were not identified in the story, likely will not be charged with a crime, according to the Detroit Free Press. They were, however, arrested and will probably have to pay a fine of $800 or more each, the newspaper reported.
