Gosder Cherilus issued an apology after the incident, saying his behavior stemmed from taking medication to help him sleep.
A former NFL player has issued an apology after being arrested for allegedly urinating on a passenger during a Delta flight from Boston to Ireland on Sunday.
Gosder Cherilus was taken into custody at Boston’s Logan International Airport around 2 a.m. after the flight was forced to return due to “an unruly passenger who urinated on another passenger on board,” Massachusetts State Police said in a statement to HuffPost.
Cherilus, who spent nine seasons as an offensive tackle in the NFL playing for the Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was described as “irate and uncooperative” by responding authorities when ordered to get off the plane.
A representative for Delta confirmed the incident to HuffPost, saying in a statement, “Delta has zero tolerance for unlawful behavior and will cooperate with law enforcement to that end.”
In a statement posted to X, formerly called Twitter, Cherilus addressed reports of the incident with an apology, saying his behavior stemmed from taking a sleeping medication after learning the flight’s departure was delayed until after 12:30 a.m.
