An American Eagle pilot who was preparing to fly from Minneapolis to New York City was arrested today after failing a breathalyzer test.
Kolbjorn Jarle Kristiansen, 48, of Hollow Lane, N.C., was taken into custody by police at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, according to an arrest report.
Officers and a TSA agent smelled alcohol on Kristiansen as they passed him waiting to enter an elevator, the report said.
Kristiansen had been scheduled to pilot an early-morning flight from Minneapolis to New York's La Guardia airport, said Patrick Hogan, spokesperson for Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
