A pilot on a Delta Air Lines flight from Minneapolis to San Francisco was arrested by federal agents after landing, according to reports.
Travel outlet View from the Wing reported that officers “stormed to the front” of flight 2809 following its arrival at San Francisco International Airport on July 26. The plane landed at approximately 9:35 p.m. following a delay for heavy fog, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Neither outlet named the pilot.
Sarah Christianson, a first-class passenger on the flight, told the Chronicle that she witnessed at least 10 law enforcement officers, including agents from Homeland Security Investigations and people identifying as air marshals, involved in the arrest and that a second team of agents retrieved the pilot’s belongings.
