According to NFTA Spokesman Doug Hartmayer, Bills Cornerback Leodis McKelvin was repeatedly asked to turn off his cellphone and place baggage in the overhead compartment. Hartmayer says McKelvin refused to comply and at some point there was an incident with the flight crew.
McKelvin was met at the gate in Buffalo by NFTA Police, who issued him a Notice of Violation for interfering with a flight crew, which carries a $75 fine. Hartmayer says McKelvin was not arrested or detained.
"Based on the circumstances and Mr. McKelvin, and my understanding was cooperative, and all that was warranted was the issuing of a Notice of Violation," Hartmayer said.
According to Hartmayer, McKelvin has a choice of paying the fine or contesting it. McKelvin says he just wants to put it behind him and move on.
"I'm going to pay my fine and be on my "Ps" and "Qs" from now on," he said.
The NFL just announced that McKelvin has been named AFC special-teams player of the week for his recent performance against the Miami Dolphins.
