BOSTON -- Former NFL player Gosder Cherilus was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after allegedly drunkenly hitting one man and urinating on another passenger during a flight from Boston to Dublin, Massachusetts State Police said Monday.
The 40-year-old Cherilus, a first-round pick of the Detroit Lions in 2008 who also played for the Indianapolis Colts and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was arrested early Sunday after the Delta Air Lines flight returned to Logan International Airport.
Troopers ordered Cherilus, from Wakefield, near Boston, to leave the plane but he "became irate and uncooperative," police said. He was then arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and disturbing a flight crew.
According to the police report, he appeared drunk when he boarded the plane, allegedly argued with the flight crew about his seat, and an hour into the flight urinated on an elderly passenger. He then hit another passenger and took that passenger's seat before passing out, the report says.

What's the odds that the people he assaulted were White?
Shouldn't that bring a felony assault charge?
If he was visibly drunk while boarding, they shouldn’t have let him on, although I know that would not be an easy task.
To be honest, I don’t even know how uncommon it is for a small percentage of passengers to be ‘mildly pickled’ before taking their seats.
and now will likely be a registered sex offender for the rest of his life.
Gosder. GOSDER?!
Playing size was 6’7”, 315 pounds. Likely heavier now. All-Pro offensive lineman for ten years. Likely had at least one fat contract. He’d be hard to move. Born in Haiti. Might be hard to reason with.
TSA approved...move right along.
Dude must have been really PISSED OFF.
Classy.
I am of the perhaps unpopular opinion that there should be the requirement to subject to a breathalyzer prior to boarding and that alcohol should not be served in airport pre-boarding lounges or on planes except for perhaps a 1-2 drink maximum.
That’s one big feller.
Guys that size, especially athletes, have had knee trouble in the past.
Fat, drunk and stupid.
What a class act!
Nothing worse than a mean drunk.
There’s no telling what these football players do when in the nfl and the league covers it up......I seriously doubt this is the first time this idiot bullied people.
Let’s see all the “professional sports” apologists defend the animals behavior. Keep giving your money to idiots that play a game for a living. Like I’ve said, ANY able bodied individual can bounce a ball and run and jump with it. Hey they can even throw it too.
White people living their lives vicariously through a favorite player(s) or team has made pro football and basketball what they are today....its almost like they’re brainwashed.. .at the end of the day sports is nothing more than entertainment but people live it, breath it and spend tons of money on it.
One thing for sure, the football team in my city isn’t getting one penny from me....and if it packed up and moved tomorrow I’d get drunk for joy.
Elderly victim must have declined charges and intimidated cops agreed.
