DETROIT – A Michigan woman who was allegedly urinated on by a pastor during a Delta red-eye flight this month is seeking more than $2 million in damages.
Nationally known personal injury attorney Geoffrey Fieger filed the civil lawsuit Thursday on behalf of victim/plaintiff Alicia Beverly, of Detroit. The complaint filed in Wayne County Circuit Court says she suffered mental and emotional distress as a result of the urination incident during an Oct. 13 flight from Las Vegas to Detroit.
A news release from Fieger’s office points out that Beverly is a black woman and Pastor Daniel Chalmers, who admitted to and apologized for the incident this week, is a white man. Fieger also suggests that Chalmers has a tendency, inclination or predisposition to urinate on people.
“It is difficult to believe that a church would hire a pastor who boarded a plane drunk and has a proclivity to urinate on passengers,” Fieger said.
Chalmers and his employer Love Wins Ministries in Raleigh, N.C., are named as defendants. Chalmers is also criminally charged with assault.
Chalmers had a 0.17 blood alcohol content (BAC) at the time of the incident and admitted to taking an Ambien sleep aid and drinking two alcoholic beverages prior to the flight.
He publicly apologized on Oct. 27, saying he had a “terrible reaction” after taking Ambien for the first time.
