Ex-NFL star Gosder Cherilus is arrested over outrageous behavior on Delta flight from Boston to Dublin that forced plane to turn back

Former NFL player Gosder Cherilus was arrested for allegedly causing a disturbance and disorderly conduct during a flight that was routed back to Boston Saturday night, according to reports. 

Cherilus, a former first-round pick, was arrested after the Delta flight, which was destined for Dublin, Ireland, was rerouted back to Logan Airport, Massachusetts State Police said.

The 40-year-old is said to have urinated on another passenger as well as disturbing the flight crew, according to Boston 25 News.

'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. 

'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.' 

The other passengers aboard the canceled flight were rebooked onto a new flight on Sunday night, which is due to land in the Irish capital on Monday morning, according to Delta. 

Cherilus is scheduled to be arraigned in East Boston District Court on Monday.

The former offensive tackle was drafted by the Detroit Lions with the 17th overall pick in the 2008 NFL draft after playing collegiate football at Boston College. 

Cherilus went on to start 116 of 132 games for the Lions, Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers throughout his NFL career before retiring following the 2016 season.
