Jailed for trying to fly free


No free ride: Alsid being escorted out of the courthouse in Kota Kinabalu.

KOTA KINABALU: A man was sentenced to a year’s jail by the Magistrate’s Court here after he was found guilty of trying to sneak into a commercial aircraft at Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA).

Alsid Patolla admitted in front of Magistrate Jessica Ombou Kakayun on Thursday that he had attempted to board the AirAsia plane despite not having a ticket so that he could look for his next-of-kin in Kuala Lumpur.
