ATLANTA (WVUE) – Dustin Poirier admits he needs help after police said he was arrested on a public drunkenness charge at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Poirier, 37, posted a statement to his Instagram Story on Tuesday, June 23, after video released by the Atlanta Police Department showed him apparently intoxicated, yelling profanities and acting aggressively before being handcuffed and taken into custody.
Police said Poirier had been denied boarding a Delta flight before the arrest Sunday, June 21.
