British Airways flight attendant found naked on SFO flight reportedly pleads guilty

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — A British Airways flight attendant who was found naked and reportedly “staging a one-man disco” in a business class restroom on a flight from San Francisco has pleaded guilty to charges related to the incident, The Guardian reports.

The flight attendant, identified by The Guardian as Haden Pentecost, was found naked and high on drugs in a toilet onboard a flight from San Francisco International Airport to London Heathrow. Pentecost, The Guardian reports, was “agitated, sweating and babbling.”

He was stood down from duty by the flight’s manager when he failed to assist with pre-flight safety checks. Complaining of stomach cramps, he reportedly said he needed to change clothes before locking himself in one of the plane’s toilets.

It was there he was found naked by a colleague and reportedly, “oblivious to the fact that he had no clothes on.” The colleague dressed Pentecost and moved him into a free seat.

The court reportedly was told that the flight attendant had dilated pupils, a high heart rate, and had to be checked every 20 minutes until the plane landed at Heathrow. A blood test revealed he had methamphetamine and amphetamine in his system during the incident.

According to a separate report from the BBC, Pentecost pleaded guilty to “performing an aviation function while impaired by drugs.”

He has reportedly since been fired by British Airways.

Pentecost, 41, was reportedly granted bail and will be sentenced at a later date.
