Police: Northwest pilot on cocaine.
    #6793177 -

www.cnn.com


PORT HURON, Michigan (AP) -- An off-duty Northwest Airlines pilot was suspected of driving under the influence of cocaine when he headed the wrong way on an interstate to avoid the U.S.-Canada border and led deputies on a chase, authorities said Sunday.

Investigators said Walter L. Dinalko, a veteran pilot of 20 years, had flown to Detroit Metropolitan Airport Saturday afternoon and then rented a Hummer that he drove about 70 miles to Port Huron.

Dinalko turned around three times on the Blue Water Bridge, apparently changing his mind about heading into Sarnia, Ontario, said St. Clair County sheriff's Lt. A.J. Foster.

He then drove on the wrong side of the bridge and Interstate 94, Foster said.

U.S. Customs agents alerted sheriff's deputies, who closed down the expressway and gave chase, Foster said.

Deputies laid down stop sticks, which flattened the Hummer's tires. Dinalko stopped but refused to surrender to deputies, Foster said.

"He started giving them a hard time, and a tussle ensued," Foster said. Deputies subdued him and found suspected cocaine on the floor of the vehicle and in Dinalko's pocket, the lieutenant said.

Dinalko, 50, of St. Paul, Minnesota, was taken to a hospital for a drug test before he was taken to jail, said sheriff's Lt. Jim DeLacy.

"He appeared to be highly under the influence of narcotics," said DeLacy, who was on the scene of the arrest.

DeLacy said a "user's quantity" of a substance suspected to be cocaine was found in the vehicle, including one opened package and one sealed package. Toxicology tests on a sample of the pilot's blood were pending, DeLacy said.

Dinalko was arraigned Sunday on charges of cocaine possession, eluding police, resisting officers and operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs, DeLacy said. He was released Sunday after posting $10,000 bond.

A message seeking comment was left Sunday at a telephone listing for Dinalko.

Shawn Brumbaugh, a spokeswoman for Eagan, Minn.-based Northwest Airlines Corp., confirmed that Dinalko was an off-duty Northwest employee but declined further comment.

I have to say, I highly doubt that when they were chasing that Hummer the police were saying, "I bet this idiot is on cocaine." Maybe after they picked him up and saw how he was acting, but probably not right off the bat.

Honestly though, if I saw something like that, I would usually think "meth" as a first guess.

Pilots and flight attendants are routinely randomly piss tested after flights. As you walk in, you're randomly selected and handed a cup. This guy must have been on his last fight before a vacation or something.

The FAA has become very strict about this. Even software, mechanical, and electrical engineers who just design flight systems but who never even get close to an airplane are randomly drug tested.

Safety sensitive positions are the only place where I agree that drug testing should be conducted.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

I think they should be allowed to have a shot and a beer or two beers before/during each flight. They should also be allowed a couple medium sized lines of coke. They should stay off the crack and other harder drugs.

Although they do get drug tested more than most jobs, I know a pilot and a flight attendant work for a big airliner that do coke drink and smoke every now and then. They say it really isnt to bad..

i think the key word in that article was "off-duty", i mean really.. who cares what someone does in their off time? i'm sure surgeons and rescue workers like to party just as much as anyone else when not working, why not pilots?
