ORLANDO, Fla. (WTXL) - A Canadian man bonded out of Orange County Jail Monday after he was arrested on charges of forcing his way onto the tarmac at Orlando International Airport, taking off his pants and stealing a luggage tug.

As he walked out of jail Monday afternoon, 27-year old Richard Hogh gave a word of warning about what can happen when you do drugs.

He said quote, "don't ruin your life kids, don't do crystal meth"

Now officials say Hogh was kicked off a United Airlines flight to Chicago Friday for claiming he was a pilot so he could sit in an unassigned first-class seat.

Once off the plane, airport officials say he took an elevator to the tarmac, took off his pants and started driving a baggage-tug.

Hogh was charged with grand theft and trespassing.
