Wednesday, 9 a.m., SFO (San Francisco airport). Police get a call that a big black guy is exposing himself outside a US Airways gate.
An airline employee spotted Deshon Marman -- 5'11", 195 lbs -- about to board USScair Flight 488, bound for Albuquerque. [Always turn left there. Ed.] The college footballer's pants, cops allege, were below his buttocks but above the knees, exposing much of his, errr, boxer shorts.
An airline employee asked Marman to pull up his pants before he boarded the plane, but he refused, said Sgt. Michael Rodriguez. Marman allegedly repeated his refusal after taking his seat on the plane. "It took 15 to 20 minutes of talking to get him to leave the plane, and he was arrested for trespassing." Marman allegedly resisted officers as he was being led away.
The police do not say that Deshon was threatening anybody directly, but the airline's dress code forbids "indecent exposure or inappropriate" attire, and "being disruptive" in any fashion once on the plane could interfere with the crew. Besides, he's a big black guy!
Marman was charged with trespassing, battery and resisting arrest, and was being held on $11,000 bail ahead of a scheduled arraignment Thursday afternoon.

Note from Ed.: Walt's regard for good taste and geometry prevents us from inserting a picture of the fashionably attired footballer.
