Cops tell Pilot to pushback or else
I heard a story about a DEN airport Cop telling a captain to pushback or else. Anyone have a link to an article about that? I seem to vaguely remember it from several years ago.
Thx

Far fetched? Unfortunately not. Had a friend divert into White Plains in an RJ year’s ago and it ended in an altercation with a local LEO ordering him to move his aircraft off the ramp. Ugly.....

I won't repeat the specifics here on APC (it happened several years ago) but needless to say it received plenty of attention on all sides and the pilot was not at fault.

I know the story from the UAL forum . Don’t remember specifics but from what I recall the cop threaten to arrest the captain for what ever the issue was . Not certain if the arrest actually happened .
