Former UFC fighter arrested at Atlanta airport

ATLANTA — Former UFC fighter Dustin Poirier was recently arrested at the Atlanta airport for public drunkenness.

Atlanta police intervened at Delta Gate D-36 on June 14 where a man believed to be intoxicated was denied boarding on a flight to Florida.

Atlanta police officials say Poirier appeared visibly frustrated, and shouted profanities at Delta staff. He is accused of acting “aggressively” toward the officers.

He was taken to Clayton County Jail and charged with public intoxication.
