Court records said on March 29, Morris and a 25-year-old woman were sitting in the same row of the airplane, four seats apart. There were no other passengers on that row. As the airplane made the final approach into Lubbock, court records said Morris "removed his penis from his pants and started masturbating while looking at [the woman.]"
The woman saw what Morris was doing and looked again to confirm what was happening. Court documents said the woman was scared and started to cry. She called for flight attendants, who separated Morris and stayed with the woman.
Airport police boarded the plane and spoke with the victim who was visibly upset and shaking, court records said. When police talked to Morris, he told them his "zipper had gotten stuck" and he was trying to fix it when it exposed his private parts. Morris was arrested and police found two plastic bags of cocaine, court documents stated.
On April 1, a special agent with the FBI and an agent with the Department of Homeland Security interviewed Morris, who told authorities he wanted to apologize to the victim. Court records said Morris admitted to inappropriately touching himself in front of the woman. He also told the agents the cocaine was "old" and that he had not used it in a "while."
