Delta Air Lines found itself in the legal tassel after a young woman from Arkansas sued the airline for USD 2.35 million after a staff member falsely accused a father of human trafficking his own daughter. Amid this, another report also started surfacing as a passenger faced charges for his behaviour with a flight attendant. The incident involved a 32-year-old passenger named Cody James Maluck and a Delta flight attendant, and the former landed a felony charge. He was indicted by a federal grand jury in Atlanta. The incident took place on May 9, 2026, on Flight 800 from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles.
Delta passenger faces charges after slapping an attendant on her butt
According to the reports and the complaint of the Delta flight attendant, referred to as P.L.L, she started her in-flight service by selling food to the passengers on Flight 800. When she reportedly passed Cody James Maluck’s seat, she felt that the passenger was sleeping, which led her to pass to the nearby passenger. During that time, P.L.L felt a slap in her buttocks area with ‘sufficient force’, to an extreme that she moved forward. As per the complaint, when the attendant looked back, Mulack was ‘raising his hand and saying that he didn’t do anything’.
