no one assaulted

Watson, who initially pleaded not guilty, said there was a shouting situation on the plane, but no one was assaulted.

Allegations are that on the day of the incident, Watson, who had too much Vodka to drink, got in a confrontation with a flight attendant. It is alleged he punched the attendant in his chest.

The incident which caused a commotion on the flight, led to Watson's arrest.

Watson, who later spoke to his attorney in court, changed his plea to guilty. He was fined $25,000 or 30 days.

The prosecution offered no evidence on the assault charge.
