American Flight To DFW Diverted Because Of Drunk Passenger

(Fort Worth, TX) — An American Airlines flight from Pittsburgh to DFW had to be diverted to Oklahoma City because of a troublesome passenger from North Texas.

When the flight landed in Oklahoma City, three police officers boarded the plane and arrested 32-year-old Brandon Ganus of Weatherford, who was reportedly drunk and abusive. Witnesses on the plane say he was so drunk he tried to open the exit door and had to be restrained with duct tape and zip ties by flight attendants. When he returned to his seat, Ganus reportedly started fighting with the passenger next to him.

Ganus faces misdemeanor charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct, assault and battery, and resisting arrest. OKC Police released the body cam footage of the incident. You can see it on the Hank FM Facebook page.
