Chicago, IL - New body-camera video has been released after a Southwest Airlines pilot was arrested and removed from the cockpit at an airport in Georgia earlier this year.

Pilot David Paul Allsop was arrested January 15 at Savannah Hilton Head Airport after allegedly failing a sobriety test before a flight to Chicago, police said.

According to a police report, Allsop was removed from the cockpit after a TSA officer reported a crew member appearing intoxicated. Allsop attributed the smell to nicotine gum he was chewing, police said.

Allsop allegedly failed a sobriety test on the jet bridge and was charged with driving under the influence, according to the arrest report.

The arrest happened with passengers already on board.

The Chicago-bound flight Allsop was supposed to be a pilot for was delayed for multiple hours while Southwest searched for a new pilot, officials said.
