Former NFL player Gosder Cherilus was arrested after allegedly urinating on a fellow passenger during an international flight from Boston to Dublin, Ireland.
Cherilus initially resisted arrest when state police boarded the plane to arrest him after the flight got diverted over the incident.
“Upon arrival at Terminal E, State Police Troop F and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) personnel boarded the aircraft and identified the suspect as Gosder Cherilus, 40, of Wakefield,’ Massachusetts State Police told DailyMail.com in a statement.
‘Troopers verbally commanded Cherilus to leave the plane, but he became irate and uncooperative. Eventually, Troopers escorted Cherilus to the jet bridge and placed him under arrest for Disorderly Conduct and Disturbing a Flight Crew.”
Delta confirmed the arrest.
“Delta flight 154 from Boston to Dublin on August 17 returned to Boston Logan due to an unruly customer and was met by law enforcement,” a Delta spokesperson said in a statement.
“Delta has zero tolerance for unlawful behavior and will cooperate with law enforcement to that end. We apologize to our customers for the delay in their travel.”
Gosder, a former offensive tackle, was selected with the 17th overall pick by the Detroit Lions in the 2008 NFL Draft. He also played with the Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers during his career.
