It involved an amateur pilot who flew a light aircraft under Tower Bridge in London. When contacted by the Air Traffic Controllers he identified himself as Captain James T.

When he was asked if he wanted to say anything on his own behalf before the judge passed sentence, he pretended to be using a Star Trek communicator, whistled, and said "Beam me up Scotty, I'm in the shit." As I recall, the judge found him in contempt of court and increased the fine!
