Pro Golfer Thorbjorn Olesen arrested on plane for alleged sexual assault of sleeping woman and peeing in aisle

No, seriously, that is what was alleged to have happened--a professional golfer, Thorbjorn Olesen was arrested this week for allegedly sexually assaulting a sleeping woman on a flight from Tennessee to London.

What was he thinking?

The 29-year-old Danish golfer was on a British Airways flight from Memphis to Heathrow on Monday. He was allegedly drunk and became abusive, according to multiple reports.

Olesen is currently ranked 62 in the world. He was returning to Europe after playing in the PGA Tour's WGC-FedEx St. June Invitational in Memphis over the weekend. He is also accused of peeing in the first-class aisle of the airplane, made a pass at a female passenger and is being investigated for sexually assaulting a sleeping woman on the flight.

A witness told The Sun that Olesen "started abusing some of the passengers and crew."

Fellow golfer Ian Poulter – Olesen’s teammate at the 2018 Ryder Cup – tried to calm Olesen during the flight, but after he went to sleep for the long flight, Olesen continued his behavior.

Poulter’s agent told the Independent that the golfer was unaware of Olesen’s behavior until police arrived at the landing gate to arrest his teammate.

Scotland Yard confirmed to the Sun that a 29-year-old man was arrested on “suspicion of sexual assault, being drunk on board an aircraft and failing to comply with the orders of cabin crew.” Police said the unidentified man was released under investigation.

Currently, both CNN and MSNBC are working on various ways to spin this story and blame Olesen's behavior on President Trump. The one thread that runs through this story is golf. Maybe golf and Trump's involvement with the sport can be that link.
