Jets WR Santonio Holmes in flap at airport over iPod


FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Authorities at Pittsburgh International Airport filed an incident report after New York Jets wide receiver Santonio Holmes failed to follow flight regulations by not turning off his iPod as the plane he was on was landing.

Jets spokesman Bruce Speight said today the team was told Holmes was flying from Newark Liberty International Airport to Pittsburgh on Thursday night. He added that the report was filed with the Allegheny County Police Department after Holmes' flight landed.

Holmes got off the plane and police officers reminded him of complying with flight regulations, but the wide receiver was not charged with anything.

Allegheny County police said in a statement that Holmes was not removed from the flight, contrary to some published reports.

"He was asked to remove his iPod [at one point], in which he complied," the statement said.
