An agent of the Transportation Security Administration agent noticed the unidentified American Airlines acting strangely at a security checkpoint and conducted a breath test, which the suspect allegedly failed.
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that the co-pilot was “detained this morning under suspicion of having a BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) over the legal limit when he arrived for his flight in Detroit.”
Flight 736, which was Philadelphia-bound, was supposed to take off about 7 a.m., but it was cancelled, leaving passengers stranded at the airport, according to ABC News.
