Flight Incident Leads to Arrest of Former NFL Star Terrell Davis
- Former NFL star Terrell Davis was handcuffed by law enforcement on a United Airlines flight in front of his family.
- Davis and his wife shared their experience of the incident that occurred during the flight.
- This event has raised questions about airline policies and the treatment of high-profile passengers.
In a recent interview with "CBS Mornings," former NFL running back Terrell Davis recounted a troubling incident that occurred during a flight from Denver to Orange County, California. Davis explained that his 13-year-old son requested a cup of ice, but when the flight attendant did not hear the request, he raised his hand for attention. After still being overlooked, Davis lightly tapped the flight attendant on the shoulder, prompting an unexpected reaction where the attendant accused him of hitting her. Upon landing, Davis was shocked to see law enforcement officers approaching his seat. He described the moment as humiliating, recalling how an agent whispered, "Don't fight it," before placing him in handcuffs. Davis expressed confusion over the situation, as the agent did not clarify the reason for his arrest. He felt a profound sense of embarrassment and powerlessness, especially with his family present, including his wife and three children, who were on their way to Disneyland. Davis's wife, Tamiko, was unaware of the ice incident and the subsequent escalation. The couple has since received feedback from other passengers who reported similar experiences with flight attendants. Davis emphasized that the intent behind the flight attendant's actions was troubling, and he has reached out to United Airlines for an apology and further discussion regarding the incident.
