Passengers waiting to board a Frontier Airlines flight from Houston to Dallas last week witnessed their pilot getting arrested and had their flight canceled.
It happened Thursday at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, authorities confirmed to Storyful. The pilot, identified by the Houston Police Department as 45-year-old Seymour Walker, was wanted on an assault-family violence warrant.
Video captured by one of the passengers shows Walker being escorted off the plane by three officers while he was in handcuffs being led to a patrol car. He was taken into custody before any passengers boarded Flight 3195 heading to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
"A replacement crew member was not immediately available and therefore the flight was canceled," Frontier Airlines said in a statement to FOX Business. Impacted customers were offered a full refund, credit or re-accommodation on the next available Frontier flight later that evening.
