NFL free agent Odell Beckham Jr. was removed by police from an aircraft before takeoff at Miami International Airport on Sunday.
American Airlines representative Alfredo Garduno confirmed that flight 1228 to Los Angeles returned to the gate before takeoff “due to a customer failing to follow crew members’ instructions and refusing to fasten their seat belt.”
Gauna, a filmmaker, was returning home to Camarillo, California, near Los Angeles, after more than two weeks documenting sharks in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Brazil. The other passengers re-boarded and the flight departed later for Los Angeles, where Gauna spoke with The Associated Press Sierra did not immediately respond to questions about whether Beckham had been arrested or was cited for a criminal offense.
