Honk News (Teterboro, NJ) – A man in Vermont, under the influence of mushrooms, made his way onto a private jet at a New Jersey airport on Tuesday, where he exhibited erratic behavior, including trying to kiss a flight attendant, before ultimately being subdued and found half-naked in handcuffs.
Authorities have reported that a passenger from Vermont, Steven Shaw, has been taken into custody at Teterboro Airport. He faces multiple charges, including assault and criminal trespassing, after an incident involving an alleged attempt to kiss a flight attendant and spitting on a pilot while under the influence of mushrooms. Shaw reportedly arrived on the tarmac accompanied by his two small dogs, leading to his arrest by Port Authority officers.
Shaw was meandering through the Bergen County airport with his dogs when he noticed a private jet with its door ajar, which he apparently interpreted as an open invitation to climb aboard, according to sources.
He boarded the aircraft and reportedly embraced and attempted to kiss a flight attendant who was present, according to sources.
A disruptive individual then entered the cockpit of the aircraft and reportedly spat on the pilot and attacked him.
The pilot noticed Shaw brandishing a firearm and promptly alerted the authorities, concerned that the unstable individual might attempt to take control of the aircraft, as reported by sources.
Upon the arrival of Port Authority officers, Shaw retreated to a restroom within the Atlantic Aviation facility and secured himself inside a stall.
According to sources, he reportedly shouted, “If you open the door, I will kill you,” at the officers who were urging him to exit.

Officers successfully persuaded the confrontational individual to unlock the bathroom door.
After resisting arrest, he was ultimately subdued and taken to a nearby hospital for a mental health assessment. Upon his arrival, Shaw was said to be unclothed from the waist down and cradling one of his dogs.
According to sources, he allegedly informed the officers that he was under the influence of mushrooms. Authorities subsequently found a 9-mm handgun aboard the private jet.
Shaw faces charges including criminal possession of a weapon, assault, burglary, and criminal trespassing.
