Marlon Wayans Accuses United Airlines Agent of Racial Targeting, Seeks Dismissal of Disturbing Peace Case

Wayans' lawyers assert Denver prosecutors are perpetuating racial discrimination by proceeding with charges from a June incident involving the comedian's luggage dispute; Wayans claims white passengers were permitted to board with three bags, violating the airline policy he was allegedly singled out for.

Marlon Wayans was accused of disturbing the peace after a dispute involving luggage policy at Denver airport in June, issued by a United Airlines gate agent.
Wayans alleges he was racially targeted by the agent, who wouldn't allow him to board his flight to Kansas City with three bags but allowed several white passengers to do so.
Despite conforming to the airline policy by consolidating his luggage into two bags, Wayans was still blocked from boarding and was eventually asked to leave the plane.
What followed was a citation for disturbing the peace. Wayans' lawyers filed for a case dismissal in October, suggesting that Denver prosecutors who continue with the charges are endorsing the alleged racial discrimination.
Statements recorded on police body cameras cited in the filing dispute United's claim that Wayans 'pushed past' an employee. Lawyers insist Wayans may have brushed shoulders with the agent during boarding, which doesn't constitute a crime.
