A Milwaukee man was arrested Saturday after berating Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke throughout a two-hour flight from Beer City to Charlotte, the Journal-Sentinel reported.
Preston Bluntson, 36, was charged with intoxication and disruptive behavior. During the flight, he repeatedly made loud and obnoxious comments toward the sheriff, who has become a prominent pro-gun spokesman for the NRA and Donald Trump supporter.
A passenger, who asked not to be identified, told the newspaper that Bluntson, who is African-American, repeatedly used a racial epithet, accused Clarke of “closing our parks” and said the sheriff is “not one of us.”
Other passengers tried to engage Bluntson, who had been drinking throughout the flight, by calming him down, but were unsuccessful. When the plane landed, Clarke was holding Bluntson down and Charlotte police arrested him.
