Man accused of throwing snacks on plane

Maybe The Rocky Horror Picture Show was the in-flight movie and he was just participating!!

On a flight to Heathrow from LA about 8 yrs ago, a mother and her two children, a boy and girl (about 10 & 12 yrs) were directly across the isle. A bulkhead was immediately behind our seats. They (all of them) threw all empty/used containers, trays, cups, napkins, behind them into that space between their seat backs and the bulkhead —- it was piled up pretty good. The female attendant did not intend to pickup and requested throughout the flight that they pickup discarded items and explained trash p-up occurs several times during and after each serving. They claimed no knowledge of how the trash got there. Attendant brought the pilot who saw the pile and asked them to pickup. The attendant said she saw them and they claimed she was lying. It all ended this way:
Trash was allowed to accumulate for, I suppose, evidence.
Upon arrival at Heathrow they were asked to remain in the their seats and would be escorted off the aircraft after everyone else had deplaned. A couple male attendants were stationed nearby to assure they remained as requested.
The female attendant was at the door as I deplaned and I asked what’s going to happen to the trio. She said tickets were being prepared for their immediate ‘return’ flight (they were americans) on another aircraft leaving soon.
As I walked into the terminal I noticed two uniformed police waiting to board.
For those readers who know their aircraft I confess I don’t recall which plane it was where bulkhead was behind our seats. It was not 1st class and I’m pretty sure it was British Airways.
