Former NFL starter arrested after allegedly urinating on passenger during flight

Former NFL player Gosder Cherilus was arrested Saturday after being accused of urinating on a passenger during a flight.

The 2008 first-round pick was on board a Delta flight to Dublin when he became “unruly,” according to the airline.

The flight was diverted back to Boston's Logan Airport and he was taken into custody after the plane landed.

Police told Boston 25 News that Cherilus was arrested for disorderly conduct.

“Delta flight 154 from Boston to Dublin on August 17 returned to Boston Logan due to an unruly passenger and was met by police,” a Delta spokesperson told the Boston outlet. “Delta does not tolerate any unlawful behavior and will cooperate with police in this regard. We apologize to our customers for the delay to their travel.”

The other passengers boarded a plane to Ireland on Sunday evening – his arraignment in a Boston court is scheduled for Monday.

Cherlius excelled as an offensive lineman during his time at Boston College – he switched to the offensive line in 2013 and was selected 17th in the first round of the 2008 draft by the Detroit Lions.

In the first eight seasons, he was in the starting lineup in 113 of the 117 games.

He spent his first five seasons in Detroit before signing as a free agent with the Indianapolis Colts before the 2013 season – his $35 million contract made him the highest-paid right tackle at the time.
