NFL great Terrell Davis says he was handcuffed on flight for asking for a cup of ice for his son

“The flight attendant either didn’t hear or ignored his request and continued past our row,” Davis wrote. “I calmly reached behind me and lightly tapped his arm to get his attention to again ask for a cup of ice for my son. His response and the events that followed should stun all of us.”

Davis added that, after the plane had landed, he was placed in handcuffs and surrounded by FBI agents in front of his wife and family.

Ultimately, the 51-year-old said he was questioned by officials, at which point it was “rightfully determined” that the attendant “was inaccurate in his accusations.”

Despite avoiding any legal ramifications, Davis is not content with the airline’s current response.

“I have yet to hear anything from United Airlines,” Davis said. “The traumatizing experience of my two sons, my daughter, and my wife watching me being placed in handcuffs – without due process or any explanation – cannot be undone.

“I refuse to stand by without speaking out on this disgusting display of injustice and deplorable treatment by United Airlines.”

Davis concluded his post by insisting that a “thorough and proper investigation” into the attendant needs to occur.

Davis finished his seven-year career — all with the Broncos — with 7,607 rushing yards and 60 touchdowns on a staggering 4.6 yards per attempt.

He was a driving force on the Broncos teams that won back-to-back Super Bowls in 1998 and 1999.

During the 1998 season, Davis produced a gaudy 2,008 yards and 21 touchdowns, still the only player to accumulate both of those numbers in a single year in NFL history.

Davis was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017 and has generally kept a low profile since, tweeting about his alma mater Georgia football or posting pictures with his family.

Davis’ Monday morning post surrounding his detainment was his first since October.
