A Florida couple and their Great Dane used an emergency slide to get off a Delta plane getting ready to take off from New York City.
Antonio Murdock and Brianna Greco were on a Monday flight from LaGuardia Airport to Atlanta when witnesses said Murdock became panicky and forced his way out the front cabin door, according to the
Associated Press.
Murdock, 31, activated the emergency chute to exit the plane. Greco, 27, followed suit with the dog. The two were taken into custody after debarking and charged with criminal mischief and trespassing, among other charges, and the dog was taken to an animal shelter in Brooklyn. Greco was given a receipt that would allow her to reclaim the dog.
