A former captain of the California Highway Patrol faces a federal grand jury indictment after reportedly consuming a whole bottle of sparkling wine and engaging in inappropriate conduct on a flight heading to Los Angeles from Florida in April.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that 49-year-old Dennis Wally Woodbury from Azusa, California, is being charged with one count of abusive sexual contact in the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States.

As per the DOJ’s press release, Woodbury, who has been terminated from his position as a California Highway Patrol captain, was traveling on a JetBlue Airways flight from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Los Angeles on April 13.

Woodbury allegedly engaged in inappropriate conduct with two male flight attendants.

Woodbury was told his behavior was inappropriate, according to the DOJ. A short time later, he asked for more wine, but the request was denied.

Once he was denied the wine, Woodbury allegedly pulled his pants and underwear down once more, and the flight attendant told him, “Enough, go back to your seat.”

Both flight attendants told law enforcement officials afterward that they never consented to Woodbury’s behavior.

JetBlue did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on the matter.

Woodbury appeared in federal court last month and was freed on $50,000 bond. He is scheduled to be arraigned on May 12 in U.S. District Court in downtown Los Angeles.

His charge – abusive sexual contact within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the U.S. – is a felony that the DOJ said carries a statutory maximum sentence of two years in federal prison.
