 | | Buck was found innocent of a laundry list of offenses, including two counts of assaulting the cabin crew, causing damage to the plane, being drunk on an aircraft and disobeying captain's orders during a British Airways flight from Seattle to London in April 2001. |
 | | In his defense, Buck claimed that, while seated in the first class section of flight 48, he had taken a sleeping pill along with a glass of wine, "fled out" and didn't realize how the combination would affect him. |
