Deshon Marman allegedly refused requests for him to pull up his pants.

SAN FRANCISCO -- A passenger's refusal to pull up his saggy pants led to his arrest Wednesday aboard a US Airways flight at San Francisco International Airport, according to police.

The passenger, Deshon Marman, was charged with trespassing, battery and interfering with the duties of a police officer following an incident that started at the gate, when agents asked Marman to pull up his pants to cover his underwear, said San Francisco Police Sergeant Michael Rodriguez.

Marman, 20, a football player at the University of New Mexico, was in San Francisco to attend the funeral of a close friend, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

During boarding for US Airways Flight 488 to Phoenix, three US Airways employees asked Marman to pull up his pants, Rodriguez said. In response to the second request, "he said he didn't have to because he had purchased a ticket," Rodriguez said.

US Airways spokeswoman Valerie Wunder said the airline does not have a specific dress code, "but we ask our passengers to dress in an appropriate manner to ensure the safety and comfort of all our passengers."

After repeated refusals from Marman to pull up his pants, the crew alerted the airliner's captain to the disruption and police were called in to assist, Rodriguez said.

Wunder referred questions about details of the incident to police but said it is her understanding that the incident began with Marman's attire but escalated when "he repeatedly ignored crewmember instructions."

The captain made a citizens arrest of Marman for trespassing when he refused to leave the plane, according to Rodriguez. The captain decided to deplane the other passengers when Marman would not immediately leave the aircraft, Rodriguez said.

After leaving the plane, Marman resisted being handcuffed in the jetway, Rodriguez said, injuring an officer in the scuffle.

Marman's mother, Donna Doyle, told the San Francisco Chronicle that her son was distressed after attending the funeral for his friend and former teammate.

San Mateo County officials said Marman will be arraigned on Friday.

Telling a passenger with saggy pants to pull them up ensures my safety?

I feel better already.

Well, they don't want you to trip over them, now do they?

Or it could well be that such bad taste might enrage other passengers.

On a more serious note, I don't want my kids seeing someone walking around in basically their underwear. I could imagine a parent asking this guy to pull up his pants and there being a bit of an argument.

This is going too far a man with dreds and baggy pants didn't fly planes into buildings it was muslim extremists, bunch of MORONS. I will never have respect for TSA and won't fly.

They say he was coming from a funeral. I take it he wore this get up to the funeral. I really don't blame the airline. People are looking like bums.
Actually the bums of years ago look better than some of the people today.
What is next a gal coming on wearing a bikini?

robyrob · 06-18-2011, 08:55 AM

the guy's a pervert - running around showing everyone his underwear and his ladybizniz, i hope they charge him as a sex offender.

It's about time someone was finally arrested for dressing in bad taste.

Retro4Life · 06-18-2011, 01:51 PM

I don't think that the only reason to arrest someone aboard a plane is because they are a "danger" to someone. There is, or was, something called decency and no one was going to arrest him until he reacted like he did. If he'd just pulled his damned pants up, it would have been all over.

The guy is lucky that one of the airport security officers wasn't a math teacher I had in high school. It used to drive him nuts when students would wear their pants like that. He would tell them to 'pull their pants up or he would fix their pants for them'. He finally got so sick and tired of them wearing baggy parnts that he would literally take a stapler and staple their pants so they would no longer sag.

OH Nuts! · 06-18-2011, 04:31 PM

Maybe I'm just used to the low standards of NYC, but I've seen so many guys dressed like that that it doesn't phase me any more. Think it looks gross but if he wants to look like a doofus - suppose its his right. BUT when airport personnel or security ask you to pull your pants up over your underwear, the SMART thing to do is to just obey and do it. Better to get to where you're going then to be right on principle but stuck in San Fran with a charge.

I agree with you. He should have just done what they told him and pulled his
pants up. And he got himself an additional charge of Assault On A Police Officer
for resisting arrest(also stupid on his part). This was not a very wise guy.

comedyfreak · 06-19-2011, 04:06 PM

I seen him on the news he said his hands were full and couldn't pull up his pants right then and there. He did pull them up when he got to his seat and they still pulled him from the plane. IMO this is no way to treat a paying customer. I don't wear baggy clothes and don't have a butt and my pants tend to sag I do wear a belt.

bandito · 06-19-2011, 05:07 PM

I'll bet the airlines harrassed him because he was black....

Must the race card always be played?

Ugh. I doubt the fact that he was black had anything to do with it. If he had just worn regular pants with a belt, or at the least pull up his baggy pants he wouldn't be in the situation he is in. It's tacky to think he wore those pants to a funeral and then to the airport.
