Southwest Airlines issued the following statement:

A Southwest passenger who appeared to be intoxicated was asked to deplane flight 3630 before departing Las Vegas McCarran International Airport for Chicago Midway Airport. The passenger became unruly and our employees utilized their training to manage the situation until local law enforcement could assist with removing the passenger from the flight…
