LaTroy Hawkins, headed on vacation to South America, helped subdue and then escort a passenger off a plane after it made an unscheduled landing in Peru.
An American Airlines spokesman confirmed that two passengers on board Flight 945 assisted flight attendants in escorting an "unruly" passenger from the plane.
"They were noncompliant, unruly, which happens on occasion," the spokesman said about the passenger removed from the flight. "And when it does, sometimes we'll divert a flight. For the safety of everybody on board, it's much easier just to get that individual off the plane. And that's what we did and turned it over to local law enforcement, and then the flight continued on."
