A Delta Air Lines co-pilot was arrested Saturday night by the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office with the assistance of federal agents, moments after Flight 2809 from Minneapolis landed at San Francisco International Airport, authorities confirmed.
The Boeing 757-300 touched down around 9:35 p.m. after a delayed second approach due to heavy fog. What began as a routine deplaning quickly turned chaotic, according to eyewitness accounts.
“A group of people with badges, guns, and different agency vests/markings were pushing their way up through the aisle to the cockpit,” a passenger wrote in an email to The Chronicle.
The passenger, seated in first class, said she counted at least 10 law enforcement officers, including agents from Homeland Security Investigations San Francisco and people identifying as air marshals.
