Watts Bold move!
A brazen JetBlue passenger admitted to bringing a fellow passenger's Apple phone charger onto the plane, sparking a heated argument on board.
picture of a tense incident Posted by @RcRelated on TikTok, The video shows a woman walking down the aisle of the plane as a man filming her asks if she is the one who stole his charger.
“Yes, I have,” the woman replied boldly, shaking her head nonchalantly.
The confused man scolded her for stealing the charger and repeatedly asked her why she thought it was okay to steal it.
“There was no one on the plane,” she replied, telling the man to “calm down.”
“You can't take things without asking!” the man yelled, as she continued towards her seat a few rows behind him.
“I'll give it back,” the woman tells the man.
Several passengers on the JetBlue flight defended the attacker in an attempt to defuse the violent confrontation.
The passenger sitting next to the agitated man asked him to sit down, saying he “didn't want to be kicked off the plane.”
Another passenger, who was walking behind the charger thief, intervened, telling the man that was “ridiculous” and that he was “just going to return the charger.”
“No, that's ridiculous. She stole something without asking,” the angry traveller tells the interjecting passenger.
Finally, the woman sat three rows back, took the charger out of her bag and handed it to the man, who continued to accuse her of stealing it.
“Would it be considered theft if I gave it back?” the woman asked sarcastically to the man who grabbed the charger.
“Yeah that's theft! You're giving it back because I caught you! Everyone saw you!” the man sternly tells the woman before the video ends.
in Followup TikTokThe man explained that the incident occurred after the flight had been delayed three times.
During these delays, the captain would allow passengers to disembark and have a meal, and the man said he and his wife took advantage of the situation and disembarked.
Inside the terminal, another passenger approached him and told him the woman had snatched his charger, plugged it into an outlet at his seat, “rolled it up and put it in her bag.”
“Remember, it was plugged in and she unplugged it,” the man says.
The man said the situation was then reported to flight attendants, who gave him permission to “call the authorities” to have the woman “remove from the plane and arrested for theft.”
Knowing that the flight would be delayed again, the man said “no” and “walked away” from the situation.
Vanessa Clover, the woman who allegedly stole the charger, said the incident has been “over-exaggerated.”
“I've been bombarded with harassment and death threats,” Clover said. He said on TikTok about an incident that happened “over a year ago.”
Clover claimed the charger was found “on the ground of an empty plane” after “passengers had been instructed to remove 'all belongings.'”
She claims she showed the charger to people around her, but no one claimed it was hers. Clover then tried to give it to a flight attendant, who told her she couldn't take it because she wasn't responsible for passengers' belongings.
Clover said the man was recording when he got back on the plane.
She said she would return the carrier immediately and that she needed some time. The cat was in the brown carrier and became sick outside the gate before re-boarding.
“I wanted to find a safe place to put my cat down,” Clover said, “and get some distance from this aggressive, volatile man.”
She acknowledged she could have handled the situation more “gracefully,” but said she was stressed and “exhausted” by the delay and didn't believe she had stolen anything.
“I acted perfectly imperfectly, as most people do when they're 'forced' to,” she said.
Clover later claimed that it was a “bold lie” that the flight attendant had urged the man to call police to take her away and arrest her.
“That didn't happen. The video doesn't show him losing his mind after I gave the charger back.”
