A federal judge Thursday sentenced Paul Henry Boritzer of New York to five months in prison and a $20,000 fine for disrupting a 2009 JetBlue flight to New Orleans after flight attendants refused to serve him any more alcohol.

U.S. District Court Judge Carl Barbier called Boritzer an arrogant, mentally unstable man whose problems only begin with alcohol, and ordered him confined to a halfway house for five months after he serves his prison term.

"You've never apologized to the lady you called a 'b----' and threatened to have her job," Barbier told Boritzer during a half-hour sentencing hearing Thursday.

Ha ! That idiot is going to probably have problems getting on planes without getting double screened let alone thinking twice. Pack some lube dude, you might need it next time you fly to MSY.
