<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nA number of readers have sent us the story of Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke’s run in with an inebriated sot, Preston Bluntson, on a plane from Milwaukee to Charlotte the other day. According to Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n \u201cThis goof took the cabin over like it was his private jet. He was moving up and down the aisles, he was in different seats. He was intoxicated, cursing and swearing. It was very intimidating for a lot of the passengers and the flight crew on that plane and so I kept my eyes on him the entire time\u2026 I did [what] was instinctive in me; that was to protect and take action. And I just had to pick a spot, I didn\u2019t want to have to be grappling with this guy for an hour,\u201d [Clarke told Stuart Varney].<\/p>\n […]<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I told him to sit down, he wouldn\u2019t. So, then I shoved him face down into the seat, pinned him against the seat and put one arm behind his back, told him to stay there [and] not resist arrest. I told the flight attendant to radio for police at the gate, to have the police meet me there \u2013 they did. When they boarded, I asked the officer who came up to me, I said, \u2018give me your handcuffs.\u2019 She did, and then I handcuffed him, [and] turned him over. I didn\u2019t worry about jurisdiction or that nonsense. I had to worry about protecting people,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Apparently, Buntson wasn’t impressed with Clarke’s political connections – he disparaged the officer’s politics, so he ended up eating an airplane seat. According to Law Newz<\/a>, Bluntson told Clarke “You’re not one of us”, I guess meaning Clarke isn’t one of the assholes.<\/p>\n Bluntson was taken into custody by Charlotte Police and spent some time in the Mecklenburg County Jail before he was released on bail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
