Former NFL first-round draft pick Gosder Cherilus was arrested for allegedly causing a disturbance aboard a flight that was routed back to Boston on Saturday night, according to police.
Massachusetts State Police informed the Daily Mail that Cherilus was detained at Logan Airport in Suffolk County, Massachusetts after engaging in disorderly conduct while flying to Dublin, Ireland. Due to his behavior, the Delta aircraft was forced to reroute back to Boston.
Cherilus allegedly urinated on another passenger aboard the flight, prompting the flight crew to request assistance from the State Police at approximately 2 a.m. ET on Sunday. Upon returning to Logan Airport, officials boarded the plane and ordered the 40-year-old to deboard, but he reportedly refused.
After not listening to their orders, Cherilus was forcibly escorted off the aircraft and arrested. In an official statement shared with the Daily Mail, the State Police wrote: “Upon arrival at Terminal E, State Police Troop F and Customs and Boarder Patrol (CBP) personnel boarded the aircraft and identified the suspect as Gosder Cherilus, 40, of Wakefield.

“Troopers verbally commanded Cherilus to leave the plane, but he became irate and uncooperative. Eventually, Troopers escorted Cherilus to the jet bridge and placed him under arrest for Disorderly Conduct and Disturbing a Flight Crew.”
Per Delta, the remaining passengers that were on board the rerouted flight bound for Dublin were booked onto a different flight that is set to land in the correct destination Monday morning. Cherilus, meanwhile, is scheduled to be arraigned in East Boston District Court the same day.

“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 spokesperson from Delta said in an official statement. “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.”
After dominating at the collegiate level with Boston College, Cherilus was selected by the Lions with the No. 17 overall pick in the 2008 NFL draft. The former offensive tackle went on to start 116 of 132 games during a nine-year NFL career that featured playing stints with Detroit, the Indianapolis Colts and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Cherilus eventually hung up the cleats in 2016, announcing on Instagram: “After much thought, prayer and discussion with loved ones, I have decided to retire from the NFL. I am forever grateful to the teams, my teammates, the medical staffs and the fans.”
Following his retirement, Cherilus launched a real estate company called “Bastion Companies.” He additionally is part of the “Gosder Cherilus Foundation,” which aims to help underprivileged populations in the U.S. and Haiti.
