    One of the biggest free agent signings by the Indianapolis Colts ahead of the 2013 season was offensive lineman Gosder Cherilus.

    According to CBS's Jonathan Jones, the former NFL offensive lineman was arrested Sunday morning for allegedly urinating on a passenger during a flight to Ireland.


    The Colts made Cherilus the highest-paid right tackle in the NFL during the 2013 offseason when they signed the free agent to a five-year $35 million contract. His time with the team ended after he appeared in 29 games in two seasons, and his play on the field was underwhelming in comparison to his large contract.

    Jonathan Jone's article shared more details on Cherilus' arrest. But here is an excerpt to provide more context to you now.

    "According to the police report, Cherilus appeared intoxicated when he arrived at Logan Airport. Before the flight took off, he allegedly argued with another passenger over seating arrangements.

    Then, about an hour into the flight, investigators said he walked up to an elderly woman, exposed himself, and "emptied his entire bladder for approximately 20 seconds."

    Court documents said the passengers and crew on the flight were in complete shock and feared for their safety. The flight crew attempted to stop Cherilus, but they said he became unruly and aggressive."

    Cherilus has pleaded not guilty to the charges being brought up against him at this time in Boston, Massachusetts. He has been released on bail and awaits a future trial date.
