HOUSTON, TX – In a jaw-dropping scene straight out of a movie, a Frontier Airlines pilot was yanked off his plane in Houston by police after a shocking arrest warrant came to light.
The startling incident, which unfolded on Thursday at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, left onlookers stunned as the pilot was handcuffed and taken away in a police car.
Arrested Mid-Flight Prep: What Happened?
The drama kicked off when Seymour Walker, 45, was identified as the pilot in question. As the plane was getting ready to take off for Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston police swarmed the aircraft and made the arrest.
Walker was wanted on an “assault-family violence” warrant issued by the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport Department of Public Safety. The details surrounding the charges are still murky, but the incident sent shockwaves through the airport.
No Passengers Onboard, But Chaos Ensues
At the time of Walker’s arrest, the plane was mercifully empty of passengers. However, the fallout from the arrest led to the next scheduled flight being canceled.
The arrest took place just as the plane had arrived in Houston around 4 p.m., giving police the perfect opportunity to apprehend Walker without causing a scene in front of passengers.
Shocking Footage Captures the Moment
Video footage of the arrest quickly made its rounds on social media, showing Walker being led off the plane with his hands cuffed behind his back.
Several officers can be seen escorting him to a waiting police car on the tarmac, where he was then whisked away.
Frontier Airlines Responds
Frontier Airlines confirmed the incident, explaining that the arrest happened before boarding for Flight 3195 from Houston to Dallas-Fort Worth.
“A replacement crew member was not immediately available, and therefore the flight was canceled,” the airline stated. Affected passengers were offered a full refund, credit, or a seat on the next available Frontier flight.
FAA Weighs In
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was also alerted to the incident. “Airlines report incidents such as this to the FAA office that oversees them, and we investigate all pilot-related issues,” the FAA said in a statement.
The situation leaves many questions unanswered about what led to the arrest, but one thing’s for sureāthis is a story that will keep people talking for a while.
