SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A Delta Airlines pilot who was taken from the cockpit after landing at San Francisco International Airport Saturday night has been arrested on child sexual abuse charges out of the East Bay.
Delta Flight 2809 had just arrived from Minneapolis when a group of local and federal law enforcement agents suddenly boarded the plane and stormed the cockpit.
The Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office says the 34-year-old pilot was arrested and booked on felony charges for sex acts with a child under the age of 10. He is being held at the Martinez Detention Facility on a $5 million bond.
The sheriff's office says they've been investigating the pilot since April 2025 after receiving a report of sex crimes against a child.

A spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations told ABC7 News this is not a federal investigation but they did assist with the arrest since it happened at SFO.
An official with the Department of Homeland Security also told ABC News the pilot is facing charges relating to child sexual abuse material.
Passengers aboard the flight posted video online showing agents walking through the aisle of the plane. The sheriff's office says it was a group of Contra Costa County detectives with the assistance of Homeland Security Investigations.
A passenger named Sarah, who didn't want to disclose her last name, told ABC7 News federal agents rushed on board just after the plane landed and passengers began reaching for their bags.
Sarah counted at least 10 agents, some wearing badges she recognized as Homeland Security.

lol!
He’s sick and evil and twisted.
My younger son is a top notch Delta Captain who has been an ATP since he turned 21 years of age. He’s been an airline pilot for about 28 years.
I heard about that happening to some guy who win the lottery in the midst of an otherwise (somewhat) amicable divorce
Guess we might hear more
THAT’S HIS NAME????????? OMG!!!!
No kidding! Might have decided it was time to off himself and everyone else on board.
