“I had a few light beers last night,” he told authorities, according to video footage just released (below). He failed a field sobriety test on the jet bridge and refused to submit to a blood-alcohol test. Officers promptly arrested him for DUI, walking him off the plane in handcuffs as stunned passengers looked on.
