Frontier pilot arrested onboard aircraft in Houston, police say

A Frontier pilot was handcuffed on board an aircraft in Houston and removed by Houston Police ahead of the flight's scheduled departure, officials confirmed on Saturday. 

The pilot was removed from Flight 3195 ahead of its planned departure from Houston to Dallas. Houston police identified the pilot as Seymour Walker, 45, who was wanted on an assault-family violence warrant.

Law enforcement said they waited until the plane arrived at a specific gate at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport about 4 p.m. local time. When all passengers deplaned, officers boarded the aircraft and took the pilot into "custody without incident," police said.
