Married pastor says he didn’t mean to take a pee on plane passenger as she slept
A scandal-hit church pastor has claimed he didn’t mean to urinate on a sleeping woman sat next to him on a plane. Daniel Chalmers offered the eyebrow-raising explanation for peeing Alicia Beverly on a Delta flight from Detroit to Las Vegas earlier this month, after blaming a mix of booze and Ambien sleeping pills.
In a statement released earlier this week, Chalmers – of the Love Wins Ministry in Raleigh, North Carolina, said: ‘I want to please ask everyone for their forgiveness in this. I never intended or wanted for this to happen.’
Chalmers, who is married, says his behavior was fueled by the cocktail of booze and Ambien, and claimed he had taken the anti-insomnia medication for the first time on the flight. The pastor says he will release a statement on his website to offer a further explanation of what he says happened.
Chalmers’ alleged victim woke up after feeling something warm on her, and saw the preacher waving his penis at her.
Beverly let out a ‘blood curdling scream’ while saying ‘He peed on me.’ She quickly sounded the alarm, and an off-duty police officer who was on the flight detained Chalmers.
After being questioned about what he was doing, Chalmers – who reeked of booze and had bloodshot eyes – said: ‘I peed on her, I thought I was going to the bathroom.’
He was ticketed for assault as a result of the incident, WRAL reported, and had a blood alcohol level that would have put him twice over the drink drive limit had he been behind the wheel. Beverly said the incident left her traumatized, and she has filed a $2million lawsuit against Chalmers.
