A Frontier Airlines flight that had been set to go from Houston to the Dallas area last week got canceled not because of weather, but because one of its pilots got arrested.
The pilot, Seymour Walker, was arrested by officers around 4 p.m. Thursday before passengers began to board the plane at Bush Intercontinental Airport, according to Houston police.
Walker was taken “into custody without incident,” Houston police said. Walker, 45, was wanted on an assault-family violence arrest warrant that had been issued by the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Department of Public Safety.
I like that they have to say an airplane needs a pilot to fly so people aren’t confused
Unfortunate for the passengers that they couldn’t arrest him in Dallas, or wait for the return flight to Houston and pick him up after.
Who wants to do that drive just to avoid inconveniencing people? I wouldn’t and cops sure as shit don’t care.
He was arrested in Houston en route to Dallas. Dallas/Ft-Worth Police were looking for him. By not waiting to arrest him in Dallas he now has to be extradited (most likely by car) from Houston to Dallas possibly with a hearing involved. Side note this obviously costs taxpayers substantially more money, and inconvenienced substantially way more people for a misdemeanor charge. There is either more to this story or it was overall a very poor choice not to wait a few hours.
I just wanna say the woman on the left’s expression is 100% accurate.
