*Former NFL player Gosder Cherilus was arrested after allegedly hitting a man and urinating on an elderly woman during a Delta flight from Boston to Dublin.
According to court docs, Cherilus approached a 78-year-old Maine woman seated on board the plane when he “fully exposed his genitals and began urinating on an elderly female, emptying his entire bladder for approximately 20 seconds.”
The flight had to return to Logan Airport, where Cherilus, appearing intoxicated and uncooperative, was arrested Sunday on charges of disorderly conduct and disturbing a flight crew, ESPN reports. When law enforcement ordered Cherilus to leave the plane he “became irate and uncooperative,” police said.
Delta confirmed the incident and apologized for the delay caused to passengers.
According to The Boston Globe, Cherilus was arraigned Monday in East Boston District Court.
“It’s pretty egregious what you did, as alleged,” Judge Debra A. DelVecchio told Cherilus.
Cherilus apologized on Instagram, attributing his actions to a reaction from a sleeping medication. He said he took “a sleeping medication that I don’t normally use, which resulted in behavior that is not representative of my character.”
In a statement, Delta described him as an “unruly customer” on the flight that Cherilus said was “approximately four hours” delayed due to his disruptive behavior.
“The flight was unexpectedly delayed for approximately four hours,” he wrote. “In preparation for the expected overnight flight, I took a sleeping medication that I don’t normally use, which resulted in behavior that is not representative of my character, and I would like to apologize to the passengers and flight crew.”
Delta said the company “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.”
