A Southwest Airlines pilot was arrested at a Georgia airport and accused of DUI on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
A Transportation Security Administration officer smelled alcohol on the pilot and informed law enforcement officials, who arrested him at Savannah\/Hilton Head International Airport, a source familiar with the situation told NBC News.<\/p>\n
“We\u2019re aware of a situation involving an employee on\u00a0Flight 3772\u00a0this morning from Savannah. The Employee has been removed from duty,” the airline said in a statement. <\/p>\n
“There\u2019s nothing more important to Southwest than the safety of our employees and customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
The flight, which was headed to Chicago, was delayed by five hours, according to flight records<\/a>. <\/p>\n The airline apologized for the disruption and said customers were accommodated on other flights. <\/p>\n Federal Aviation Administration regulations “prohibit pilots from using alcohol while on duty or from flying, or attempting to fly, an aircraft within eight hours of consuming alcohol or if they have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.04% or greater,” the agency said in a statement.<\/p>\n Chatham County <\/a>s<\/a>heriff’s<\/a> records<\/a> <\/a>indicate airport police arrested David Allsop, 52, on a charge of driving under the influence. He was being held on $3,500 bond, according to sheriff\u2019s records. <\/p>\n It was not immediately clear Wednesday night whether Allsop had an attorney. His family could not be reached for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/picture>
