Southwest co-pilot arrested on alcohol charges
(CNN) -- Authorities in Salt Lake City ordered a Southwest Airlines co-pilot out of the cockpit of his Phoenix-bound jet shortly before takeoff Sunday morning and jailed him on suspicion of being under the influence of alcohol, FBI and airline officials said.
Carl Fulton, 41, of Fort Worth, Texas, faces federal charges of operating a common carrier under the influence of alcohol, FBI spokesman Pat Kiernan said. Transportation Security Administration screeners had him followed to the flight's departure gate after noticing Fulton smelled of alcohol while going through security about half an hour before the 8 a.m. flight was scheduled to leave, Kiernan said.
Fulton has worked for Southwest for two years and will be placed on leave until an investigation is complete, airline spokeswoman Paula Berg told CNN. He will have an initial court appearance sometime Monday, Kiernan said.
