Covington, who had been seen taking eight pills of some kind, accosted the pregnant woman near the restroom.

    The complaint says “He then ran his hands up the front of her body going from her crotch up to her breasts. He started with the back of his hands, but turned his hands with his palms facing her as he ran his hands over her breasts. She pushed him away and she got behind the flight attendant that had come up behind her. She then went into the lavatory where she remained crying for approximately five minutes.”

    Covington left the plane in handcuffs.
