Retired offensive tackle Gosder Cherilus (#17th overall pick in the 2008 NFL draft) was arrested for urinating on a passenger during a Delta Airlines flight from Boston to Dublin. Cherilus said, “I’d like to address the media reports about me that surfaced today regarding a situation that occurred onboard a flight to Ireland this past weekend. The flight was unexpectedly delayed for approximately four hours, and it did not take off until after 12:30AM. In preparation for the unexpected overnight flight, I took a sleeping medication that I don’t normally use, which resulted in behavior that is not representative of my character, and I would like to apologize to the passengers and flight crew.”
