Sixty-year-old Joe Rickey Hundley used a racial slur and then slapped a Minneapolis toddler on a Delta flight from Minneapolis to Atlanta on Feb. 8.
From the time Jessica Bennett sat down in her seat with her 19-month-old son Jonah, the man next to her began complaining.
Jessica says he was drinking, and becoming increasingly belligerent. Hundley, an Idaho resident, behaved hostile towards the mother and son before take-off.
“I said ‘Oh, we’re sitting next to you,’ and he just basically rolled his eyes and growled at us,” Jessica said.
Jessica says Hundley was drinking and complained to the crew that Jonah was too big to sit on her lap.
“I could just tell that he was annoyed with his comments. He’s turning my light back on after I would turn it off, and constantly saying things to the staff in regards to my son. And so I took us out of the situation and we stood back by the bathrooms,” she said.
