NEW YORK — An investment banker was fined $5,000 and placed on probation for two years Tuesday for a drunken scene aboard an airliner in which he was accused of defecating on a food service cart.
Gerard Buckley Finneran, 59, of Greenwich, Conn., also was ordered to get counseling and not drink on airplanes. He previously agreed to pay $48,000 to reimburse his fellow passengers' ticket costs, perform 300 hours of community service and cover United Airlines' $1,000 cleanup cost.
