Delta Pilot Assists Airport Police In Takedown of Irate Passenger – Everything Law and Order Blog

On December 14, 2015 a Port of Seattle Police officer was rerouted from a welfare check to an in-progress disturbance at Gate A13. It was reported that a male subject was being denied boarding and was currently engaged in a verbal disturbance with gate agents. The male subject, later identified as Anthony Neal, was described as a black male wearing a dark jacket and do-rag. While en route to gate A13, dispatch updated the officer, stating that Neal had entered the jetway and physically struck a Delta employee.

When the officer neared Gate A13 it was apparent to her that Neal was highly agitated and cursing profusely. As she neared the gate she observed that a male Delta Airlines employee was physically blocking the entrance to the jetway, and as the officer approached the employee immediately stated “He assaulted me!” while indicating that Neal was the person who had committed the assault.

Concerned that Neal had already allegedly committed some sort of assault and that Neal’s anger and outrage were escalating the officer decided to detain Neal in handcuffs, wanting to lessen the possibility that Neal would be able to physically assault members of the Delta Airlines crew with him he was arguing. The officer contacted Neal and placed her hands on his left arm, telling Neal that she was going to place him in handcuffs for the moment. Neal immediately began to protest and said “No!” The officer told Neal to put his hands behind his back and attempted to move his left arm behind his back. In response, Neal tensed his arm and pulled it violently forward. Neal continued to push against the officer, shoving her backwards away from him as she attempted to control his arm.

The officer pulled Neal in so that he could not escape her grasp. At this time, the officer and Neal both struck the podium near the entrance to the jetway. Neal continued to push the officer and grabbed her side, continuing to fight by pushing and shoving her. At this point the officer struck Neal in the stomach with her knee, a blow which did not seem to affect Neal, who continued to struggle. The officer then struck Neal in the face with her fist in an attempt to quickly end the struggle.

Neal continued to fight, pushing the officer back and moving his left arm toward her. The officer then used both of her hands to control Neal’s arms so that he would not strike her as he continued to push his arms at her. At this time, unable to control Neal and with no free hand to strike him a second time, the officer head-butted him in another attempt to end the struggle and protect herself from being struck.

That’s when the Delta Airlines pilot jumped in, assisting the officer in taking Neal to the ground and controlling him.

Neal was criminally cited for obstruction of a law enforcement officer and for criminal trespass in the first degree.

[The foregoing is lightly paraphrased from portions of the arresting officer’s report.]

  1. I keep marveling how so many people think that by pretending they don’t understand their Miranda rights they can avoid arrest and prosecution. They are mistaken. All that claiming not to understand those rights accomplishes is:
    Render any statement you make inadmissible in court (you can accomplish the same thing by just keeping quiet), and consequently
    Halt any further questioning (you can accomplish the same thing by saying you do not wish to answer questions without the advice and presence of your attorney), and often also
    Annoy the arresting officers so that they are disinclined to offer any courtesies or comforts beyond those strictly required by law

  2. He was looking for Spirit Airlines customer service… Seeking that which doesn’t exist can be infuriating.

  3. How big of a dumb a** do you have to be to act this way and honestly believe you're going to get on the plane? Just because you paid, there are still policies you must abide by. The folks who made the attacks on 9/11 paid for their tickets too.

  4. solution is to have overhead locker compartments that MATCH SEAT NUMBERS, so if your case is too big it wont fit. I hate people who bring on more than they are allowed & then take other peoples storage space!

  5. Why did I know immediately it was a man of the “chosen” race, who can do no wrong when 80% of them don’t know how to act. It’s a pattern.

  6. They'll put people on a no-fly list for their political opinions on Facebook, but this asshole can still get on a plane. makes sense.

  7. That would not be first pilot to have to subdue a rowdy or drunk passenger. About 15 years ago one had to stop a well known rock band from tearing up first class.

  8. Crazy how slow airport security is. People,could die before they show up. Once you’ve been attacked by a black guy, BLM seems less empathetic.

  9. The main question is why it takes so long for police to respond inside an airport. Reaction should be immediate

  10. 3:45 be advised your looking for a asian man dark hat dark jacket 🤦🤷🧐☎️👮‍♂️🤣

  11. Well you should of had more police at this Point??? He’s acting cracy !!! Just lisson to that guy insult there direct orders to shut the fuck up.

  12. All he needed to do was check the damned bag which he could do at the gate. It may not have been on the same plane but he would have had it soon after arriving. Sometimes the extra bag actually arrives before the passenger does. How do people like this survive?
