DFW-bound flight diverted to OKC due to unruly North Texas passenger

OKLAHOMA CITY - Police say an American Airlines flight from Pittsburgh to DFW was diverted to Oklahoma City because of a drunken, unruly passenger from North Texas.

The airline says the flight landed in Oklahoma City at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday and departed less than an hour later for DFW.

Police body camera footage shows one apparent passenger saying "go get him" as three officers enter the plane to take 32-year-old Brandon Ganus into custody. Passengers applaud as the Weatherford man was led away in handcuffs.

A police report says Ganus was arrested on misdemeanor complaints of public intoxication, resisting arrest, assault and battery, and disorderly conduct.

The report says Ganus used a "variety of ... colorful obscenities" to threaten the officers and their families, and that he was eventually taken from the airport in a wheelchair because he had dropped to his knees to resist arrest.
