A pilot was preparing to take off from a Texas airport when he was suddenly arrested on a disturbing charge -- forcing a cancellation.
A Frontier Airlines pilot was taken into custody by Houston police on board a plane at George Bush Intercontinental Airport on Saturday night.
The airman, later identified as 45-year-old Seymour Walker, was removed from Flight 3195 before takeoff due to an outstanding warrant for assault-family violence.
Law enforcement timed the arrest for when Flight 3195 reached its assigned gate at George Bush Intercontinental Airport around 4 p.m.
Officers boarded the empty plane and took the pilot into custody without any problems.
Frontier Airlines confirmed the incident, stating that the pilot was arrested before boarding began for Flight 3195, bound for Dallas-Fort Worth.
Due to the immediate lack of a replacement crew, the flight was canceled.
To make up for the inconvenience, passengers who were going to board Flight 3195 were offered a full refund, credit, or a spot on the next available flight.
'Airlines report incidents such as this to the FAA office that oversees them, and we investigate all pilot-related issues,' the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.

No kidding.
Frontier = Aeroflot for the West.
I have the tsshirt - “I flew Aeroflot and survived.”
Is it real?
A woman can accuse..
Doesn’t mean it is real.
” It’s almost always the man that gets arrested no matter what happened.”
Exactly.
Frontier is one of the airlines I won’t fly - Spirit and Delta are the others, and I prefer not to fly Southwest if possible.
Don’t understand the timing of this - it inconvenienced so many people.
Yes and passengers inconvenience
Cops do like the glare sometimes
I flew Frontier for the first and last time a few weeks ago, they are quite efficient at fleecing their customers AFTER the flight is paid for.
Houston police made the arrest this dramatic way. They wanted the PR, and to remind John Q Public they are ever vigilant, are always looking out for you.
The tires was a joke!
LOL !!!!
👊
Still plenty of daylight left after 4PM here in Texas this time of year.
Good morning everyone. This is your felon speaking.
I hope it was as bad as the arrest warranted - otherwise, that female has destroyed his entire career AND any hope of financial support, insurance from him and all benefits for her.
Been around a long time and have seen men wrongfully and falsely charged and arrested.
Based on the behavior and competence of the Fed, its hard to tell what’s real and what’s sarcasm.
Someone is looking for publicity?
