Who is Daniel Chalmers? Pastor accused of urinating on woman during flight, labeled 'absolute disgrace'

When a police officer told Chalmers what he had been accused of, he responded saying, 'I'm a pastor, that is out of my character and I didn't do it'

A police report identified 'Love Wins' minister Daniel Chalmers as a man who had allegedly peed on a sleeping passenger before "shaking himself off."

The plane passenger in question, Alicia Beverly, had earlier described the sickening moment when she allegedly woke up to a man pissing on her on October 13 while on a flight. Winston Salem Journal obtained the report by Wayne Metropolitan Airport Police which detailed the incident.

The alleged incident had taken place on a Delta Airlines flight which was traveling from Las Vegas to Detroit. While giving a statement to the police, Beverly had said that she "was sleeping and I felt something next to me." She shared that she "woke up and looked to my right and seen this guy standing next to me."

"Shortly after I started to feel something warm and I jumped up and screamed and noticed he was shaking his penis like he was finished and that's when I felt my skirt was wet," Beverly told the police. A police officer who had been on board the flight then confronted the man and demanded identification. 

The man was identified as Chalmers who said "I didn't do it", as per the report. The police officer revealed that Chalmers was the only person standing at the time of the incident along with the flight crew, the document reveals. When the police officer told Chalmers what he had been accused of, he responded saying, "I'm a pastor, that is out of my character and I didn't do it." Chalmers then told the officer that he had taken prescription medication but had not had a "drip of alcohol". 

The officer revealed how he had seen "a small" wet spot on Chalmers' shorts near the groin area. The document states that after the plane landed and Chalmers was being led off, he told the plane's captain that he would "sue Delta Airlines for defamation of character and their treatment of him."

Chalmers is the co-founder of Love Wins Ministries. According to the website, the ministries' home church is in the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina.

Many social media users have slammed him for his actions on platforms such as Twitter. One user wrote, "Pastor Daniel Chalmers peed on a passenger, denied what he did. The victim has his DNA on her clothing i.e. urine. He only received a citation. He should’ve been charged with indecent exposure/lewd act, assault, etc. then had the nerve to call the victim/apologize. Unbelievable."

Another added, "If Daniel Chalmers (the peeing pastor) weighs 180 pounds, it would’ve taken five drinks to get him to a 0.175. So he also lied to the cops about how much he had consumed." Yet another shared, "I’m glad he has been identified. I hope justice is done and his victim is cared for. I also hope that all those who openly named other pastors and even hoped that it was someone else will reflect on their condition and receive help from God themselves." 

"Ewwwwwwww! I just read about #DanielChalmers, another pastor that is an absolute disgrace! Raise your standards!" commented another. Yet another shared, "The malice began when he set out to cover up and have others cover up what he’d done. He could’ve accepted responsibility, apologized, repented. He is not the victim."
