A big H/T to Kathy at Will Run For Miles who first reported this on Twitter. If you don't read her blog, you should, she's awesome!
Multiple news outlets are reporting that an American Eagle pilot has been arrested at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport under suspicion that he was intoxicated and planning to fly to LGA.
Witnesses in the airport reported smelling alcohol on the pilot as he boarded the plane to begin pre-flight checks. The police were summoned and boarded the plane to conduct a breathalyzer test and removed the pilot.
Passengers had not yet begun to board the plane and a spokesperson for American Airlines says that the pilot has been suspended pending an investigation.
