Rich the Kid arrested by cops after alcohol dispute on Delta flight

EXCLUSIVE

Rich the kid was moved by not being able to have a drink on his flight from Los Angeles, and when he landed in Sacramento … the police were waiting.

People seated near Rich in the Delta aircraft on Wednesday told TMZ … that the rapper was PASSED because the flight attendants had stopped serving alcohol while the aircraft was about to land …

We are told that the flight attendants got pissed too and asked him to stop … but Rich did not want to listen to him and the madness ensued. The crew called at the terminal to inform the police that there was an unruly passenger on board.

As you can see, the cops greeted Rich as soon as he stepped out of the bridge. Sources close to Rich told us that he wanted to talk to a Delta supervisor about why he could not be served, and file an official complaint with the airline.

We were told that the police had mediated between Rich and Delta – he was never handcuffed or arrested … and finally continued on his way.

Rich en route to a concert in Stockton, California. We guess that he will find all the drink he wants in his dressing room.
