State Police said, ‘Upon arrival at Terminal E, State Police Troop F and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) personnel boarded the aircraft and identified the suspect as Gosder Cherilus, 40, of Wakefield.’

‘Troopers verbally commanded Cherilus to leave the plane, but he became irate and uncooperative. Eventually, Troopers escorted Cherilus to the jet bridge and placed him under arrest for Disorderly Conduct and Disturbing a Flight Crew.’

Cherilus, who is of Haitian descent, is scheduled to be arraigned in East Boston District Court on Monday.

The other passengers aboard the canceled flight were rebooked onto a new flight on Sunday night, which is due to land in the Irish capital on Monday morning, Delta confirmed.
