Man boards SWA flight, immediately goes crazy.

The brouhaha began nearly the moment the suspect, identified in the documents as Lemar Sheron Rogers, boarded the plane Tuesday morning in Seattle and claimed he had a first-class ticket.

He didn't. Nor did any of the 43 passengers. Attendants had to tell Rogers that the Sacramento-bound flight had no first-class seating.

Before takeoff, the suspect started pressing the call button above his seat. A flight attendant asked if he had an emergency.

"Yea ... I need a (expletive) drink!" an agitated Rogers snapped, the documents say.

When the attendant said he could only have one glass at a time, the man's behavior escalated.

"Get the (expletive) out of my face," he sneered. Then he said, "Jesus loves you," according to documents.

Rogers told authorities he had been smoking "purple hash" before the flight but didn't feel high aboard the plane, court records show.

Rogers claimed any gang signs he "threw up were for Jesus" and that the woman who switched seats did so because he is black, according to the documents.
