On your stomach. >> Hey everyone, it's Trent, prior deputy sheriff, patrol sergeant, and K9 handler. So, I just wanted to start this off by stating that airports are public places. However, they do have significant rules and regulations and can definitely refuse somebody's service for security, safety, law, or policy violations. Being intoxicated to the point where the suspect is verbally abusing airline staff, yelling and cussing, and challenging these officers to fight, he's not only becoming a danger to himself and others in a public place, but at this point in time, he would definitely qualify for that refusal of service. More than likely, he could have been placed under arrest much sooner than he was if it was not for these officers infinite amount of patience. And I've been in these situations before. And coming from a law enforcement perspective, sometimes dealing with somebody at this level of intoxication, there is no logical reasoning with them. They're not going to care what you have to say. It's going to be a neverending back and forth until eventually the suspect will end up doing something that warrants them being placed under arrest like we see here in this video. And typically that is going to be how these outcomes go. no matter how good you are at deescalating a situation or providing somebody numerous opportunities to leave the area. >> He was charged with aggravated disorderly conduct, intoxication, and resisting arrest, but remains innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
