US EditionVideo Shows Interaction with Southwest Airlines Pilot From NH Accused of DUI
Southwest pilot Captain David Allsop failed two of three sobriety tests before police arrested him for attempting to fly intoxicated, with criminal charges still pending.
- On August 14, 2025, Savannah airport police released bodycam and surveillance video of the January 15 arrest of Pilot David Paul Allsop at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport for allegedly attempting to fly while intoxicated.
- Noticing the odor of alcohol, officers removed Allsop after a TSA agent said `I smell alcohol on his breath` in the video.
- During the interaction with police, Allsop underwent field sobriety tests, failing two out of three, and admitted to having a few light beers at least 10 hours earlier.
- The Federal Aviation Administration revoked Allsop's license, charges remain pending, and Flight 3772 was delayed for hours as Southwest searched for a replacement pilot.
- Amid regulatory scrutiny, federal regulations bar pilots from drinking within eight hours before flight and at a blood alcohol level of 0.04 or higher, but Southwest Airlines employees sought custody of Allsop for testing, citing legal issues, while police refused, citing state law.
