A British traveler who was suspected of being drunk learned a harsh lesson after causing a scene at an Orlando airport, which led to him seeing the inside of an American jail.
A man, who referred to himself as Anthony, was arrested at Orlando International Airport on January 24 after he was kicked off a Virgin Atlantic flight for allegedly being under the influence.
An airline representative told police as the passenger was loaded into the back of a cop car that the man had grabbed a bottle of alcohol on the plane, drank it and then asked for cocaine, bodycam footage showed.
While the man was escorted through the airport, he belligerently told officers to ‘kill’ him and that he had done nothing to the US and its allies, which caused a cop to tell him to stop acting like a ’10-year-old.’
It is unclear if the man faced any charges from his outburst, but he was escorted to the local jail.
Officers met the man while he was standing outside the gate, where they told him he would have to come with them, causing the man to stumble as he removed himself from the pole he was leaning on.
As they boarded a passenger train inside the airport, he started to insult the officer.
‘No, f**k off,’ he screamed, raising his hands as the passenger train began moving. ‘You’re a joker, you’re a joker, you corrupt piece of s**t.’

He also told the officers that they knew ‘nothing about law’ and claimed they were using ‘intimidation’ against him.
‘Outside on that street, without your uniform, you’d be a pussy,’ he said. ‘You’re treating me like a piece of s**t.’
As they walked through the airport, the older man yelled out he was going to ‘get a solicitor’ and waved his arms around.
‘Are you going to act like an adult?’ the grumpy officer asked.
‘Like I act anything different,’ the man replied.
While they headed toward the exit and he was directed toward the city buses, the suspected drunk was incredulous, telling the officer he ‘had a flight’ to catch.
‘You’re not getting on the flight,’ one officer replied, while the other said: ‘Not today!’
This caused the man to throw his things on the ground before making his case.

It is unclear if the man copped any charges, but he was escorted to the local jail. ‘What do you think I am? A f**king monkey?’ he yelled. ‘People can’t do that. I’ve paid my fare, I’ve done nothing wrong… It doesn’t work like that, my friend, it doesn’t work like that!’ he yelled
‘Hold on, you mean I’ve got a flight to go home to London, but you’re telling me I’m not doing that? How can you do that?’ he asked, anxiety seeping into his voice as he looked between the two officers.
‘How can you stop me going home?’ he pleaded as he placed his hands on his head.
When they told him the airline stopped him from boarding, he told the officers ‘that’s bulls**t’ as he ripped off his button-down.
‘What do you think I am? A f**king monkey?’ he yelled. ‘People can’t do that. I’ve paid my fare, I’ve done nothing wrong… It doesn’t work like that, my friend, it doesn’t work like that!’
The officer told the man he had to sober up somewhere or go to jail.
‘I’m sober,’ the Brit insisted.
‘Are you?’ the officer asked. Earlier, the man had asked to do an alcohol test, but was denied.
‘I’ve not been obnoxious, I’ve not been violent, or in any way rude,’ the man insisted. ‘I wanted to get on my plane.’
He also told the officers that they knew ‘nothing about law’ and claimed they were using ‘intimidation’ against him
‘I’ll tell you what, I’d rather go to court, OK?’ he said. ‘So, arrest me then.’
He told the officer he’d rather go to jail for six months just to prove a point that ‘you arrested me for nothing.’
He later admitted that he had a few cans of White Claw on an empty stomach before his flight and he was starving.
‘You should have made better life choices,’ the grumpy officer, who was nearing the end of his shift, shot back.
The Brit sighed before saying: ‘Maybe you should just kill me now.’
He then pleaded to go talk to the Virgin Atlantic manager to prove he was not intoxicated, but he was denied.
‘I don’t give a s**t anymore. I’ve got kids at home waiting for me,’ he told the officer as he put his button-down back on.
‘I haven’t done anything wrong to you or to the United States or any of its f**king allies of the United States,’ he yelled. ‘I’ve done nothing wrong.’
He then refused to leave, telling them: ‘I’ll have to be shot then.’
The man was placed in cuffs and placed him under arrest.
As they lead him out of an elevator, he started screaming: ‘What have I done to deserve [this]? … I want to go home to my family! I’ve done nothing wrong!’

At one point, he pleaded to talk to the Virgin Atlantic manager to allow him back on the flight
He eventually lay down on the ground before asking for immigration services as he continued to scream that he wanted the state police called too.
‘Start acting like a man instead of a 10-year-old,’ an officer told them as they forced him to sit in a wheelchair.
As they loaded him into the back of a police car, he called officers ‘lumps of s**t’ and told them: ‘Don’t act like a friend.’
A Virgin Atlantic manager then told police the man had allegedly made it onto the plane, where he went to the bar area to steal a bottle of alcohol and then asked flight attendants for cocaine.
