Looks like the newly acquired Jets receiver is back in the news yet again. WPXI reports that wide receiver Santonio Holmes had to be escorted off a plane Thursday night at Pittsburgh International Airport, investigators said.
Reports say that the incident occurred shortly after 9pm and that although Holmes was not arrested, he was indeed removed from the plane for being a “disruptive passenger.”
According to investigative reports, the plane was docked at Gate D77 when Santonio refused to comply with the flight crew’s demands to remove his iPpod before takeoff, which then led to his removal from the flight.
Earlier that night Holmes had tweeted, “Only guy on the plane headed to Pitt from NJ, wearing my green n white. GO JETS!”
Now Holmes is already facing a 4 game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. I wonder if Santonio was aware that he would be allowed to put his iPod back on once the plane was in the air?
