Pilot Arrested For Bizarre Behavior In Front Of His Home
WTVF ^ | 5/2/2005 | Newschannel 5

Posted on 05/02/2005 6:11:36 PM PDT by holymoly

A local pilot for American Airlines was in trouble with the law Monday after neighbors in his upscale neighborhood complained about his bizarre behavior.

47 year-old Roy Clemmons has been a highly-regarded pilot for American Airlines.

Neighbors like Dorene Phillips said Clemmons is a family man and a hard-working professional, and said they were stunned to learn of Clemmons arrest.

Wilson County Sheriff's Deputies arrested Clemmons Friday and charged him with performing lewd and obscene acts while naked, in broad daylight, and in front of his home.

In the police report, a neighbor reported Clemmons fondled himself on his front lawn 25 times over the past year.

The neighbor videotaped Clemmons during the act as proof of the allegations.

Investigators said the neighbor made the tape fearing no one would believe her without it.

After viewing the video, the sheriff alerted American Airlines.

Clemmons was then grounded and sent back from a flight to face charges.

Phillips said she never saw Clemmons expose himself in public, but felt the allegations were a concern, especially with children in the quiet neighborhood.

Phillips said she's did talk with Clemmons after his arrest.

She says Clemmons told her he's couldn't believe he was arrested, and insisted he had no memory of what happened.

Phillips said, “In my mind, he may have been sleep walking and didn't realize these things were going on.”

Investigators wouldn't comment on specifics of the investigation Monday, but said Clemmons does appear to be very much awake in the video tape taken by the his neighbor.

Officials with American Airlines could not be reached for comment Monday, but Phillips said Clemmons told her he will be undergoing a psychological evaluation and was not flying, for now.

Clemmons was free on $10,000 bond Monday.

SURELY YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!

I've known lots of pilots, this is par for the course.

Is it possible to fly by the seat of your pants if you aren't wearing any?

And "sleepwalking"? Sounds more like a case of "sleepwanking".

In any case, it's obvious that this guy has serious mental issues, which I trust will be sorted out, and he will soon be holding his own.

I'd ask you all to give him a hand, but he obviously already has two.

Thank you, thank you, you've been a great audience...

"In the police report, a neighbor reported Clemmons fondled himself on his front lawn 25 times over the past year."



A local mating courting ritual?



"I'd do a drug test, too."


Argh... Wonder if he abuses drugs to stay awake like truck drivers do? Does it state if this is a pilot for one of those rush delivery cargo planes? More nutso's on the loose. The loons are now the majority in this country. We better pray more and longer.

Actual radio transcript from last March:

"Uh, O'Hare, making approach on runway (static) Alpha-Niner-Niner."

"Roger."

"No, this is Roy."

"Roger that."

"No, this is Roy Clemmons."

"Roger, Roy Clemmons."

"Uh, O'Hare, Roy is my first name, not my middle name."

"OK. You're cleared to land, Roy."

"O'Hare, I'm having difficulty controlling the stick. It seems to be locked into a left approach. Requesting permission to divert to Meigs."

"Roger, that would mean banking right."

"O'Hare, this is Roy, and I already have a secure savings account. I need authorization to divert to Meigs. I keep trying to pull the stick right, but it is very hard."

"OK, veer left and come full circle."

Oh God! An engine just blew! O'Hare, requesting a hand here; I'm flying naked."

END TRANSCRIPT

Sounds like one of my night landings, years ago on a straight deck carrier, wintertime in the Norwegian Sea.

Wasn't naked -- and that's good, for I peed my pants (flight suit). And, kissed the flight deck after the recovery was over...just to make sure I was still alive.

I suspect this guy was P.O'd that he had to fly on the 11th day that month. !!That will do it for these turkeys, every time, especially those jokers flying with United. American is another story, altogether -- even worse!

Will our praying longer reduce the number of loons?

Maybe you're just attracted to (or by) those kind of creeps. Otherwise, you're full of it.
