A man has been arrested after refusing to wear a face mask on a Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City to San Francisco, authorities said.
Council Joshua Colby, 44, was rushing to embark on his fight against the Delta at Salt Lake City International Airport at around 10:40 p.m. Wednesday when a gate agent pulled over and asked him to put on a face mask, according to a police report obtained by Salt Lake. Tribune.
The council refused and continued to board the plane, police said.
Once aboard, the captain and flight crew also asked the council to wear a mask, but he became hostile and continued to refuse, police said.
He also refused to leave his seat when airport security attempted to escort him off the plane.
It wasn’t until all the other passengers got up and got out that he finally left the plane, police said.
The incident delayed the flight by 45 minutes.
The council was sentenced to Salt Lake County Jail for disorderly conduct. He was released Thursday morning.
“We apologize to customers for the delay on flight 1382 on Wednesday as a passenger was removed from the flight for disregarding the mask,” the airlines said in a statement to KSL-TV.
“There is nothing more important than the safety of our employees and our customers.”
