Former NFL offensive lineman Gosder Cherilus was arrested Sunday morning after Delta Air Lines flight 154 from Boston to Dublin returned to its origin. The 40-year-old ex-professional athlete reportedly urinated on a fellow passenger.

The flight, already delayed by four hours, experienced further disruption an hour into its journey when Cherilus, who appeared intoxicated, escalated an earlier altercation over seating arrangements. Around 1 a.m., he allegedly approached an elderly female passenger, exposed himself, and urinated on her for approximately 20 seconds. Flight attendants attempted to intervene but reported that Cherilus became aggressive and struck an elderly man before collapsing into another seat.

The pilot decided to turn the plane back, landing at Logan Airport around 2 a.m. State Police and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers boarded the plane upon arrival. Due to his size and uncooperative behavior, officers used two sets of handcuffs to detain the 6-foot-6-inch, 280-pound man.
