Former NFL star Terrell Davis was handcuffed and taken off a flight after an incident with a flight attendant this past weekend.
Davis and his family were on a United Airlines flight from Denver to Orange County on Saturday when things went left. He has revealed he was approached by FBI agents and placed in handcuffs as soon as the plane touched down in California.
The former Denver Broncos star shared a post to Instagram in which he said he tapped a flight attendant on the arm after his son asked for a cup of ice and was either ignored or wasn’t heard. The attendant is said to have snapped and shouted, “Don’t hit me” before leaving the area.
Davis claimed to have had no further interaction with the attendant during the flight; however, six agents, including FBI personnel, came aboard after the plane landed and immediately placed him in handcuffs.
“I was then removed from the flight while being recorded by multiple passengers as I was paraded off of the plane in handcuffs by the officers,” he explained.

“These lies and the ensuing events have the capacity to tarnish the reputation I have spent decades building,” the Hall of Famer wrote, “and this person should not be able to do this again to anyone in the future.”
TMZ claims to have received word from the FBI that agents did respond to a report of an in-flight incident at the John Wayne Airport and detained an individual for questioning but did not name Terrell Davis.
They said the person “was cooperative with law enforcement and was released to continue his travels.”
Davis added in his post that his family is traumatized after watching him get handcuffed by law enforcement. It appears he’s considering a lawsuit.
