Former NFL offensive tackle Gosder Cherilus was taken into custody on Saturday after being accused of an inappropriate act during a flight. The incident reportedly occurred on a Delta Airlines flight bound for Dublin, where Cherilus allegedly urinated on a fellow passenger. The airline described his behavior as “unruly,” prompting the flight crew to redirect the aircraft back to Logan International Airport in Boston. Upon landing, Cherilus was arrested by authorities, as reported by Fox News.

Cherilus, who was a first-round draft pick in 2008, played his early career with the Detroit Lions before moving on to the Indianapolis Colts in 2013. His five-year, $35 million contract with the Colts made him the highest-paid right tackle in the league at the time. However, his stint with Indianapolis lasted only two seasons, and he eventually played his final two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before retiring in 2017.
