Singer Jeremih was arrested Friday for sneaking on to a US Airways flight from Newark to Phoenix after the final boarding call. Jeremih, who had just performed in New York the night before, was on his way to Fresno, CA where he would be performing at the B95 Fresno Holiday Jam later that night.
The accounts of what happened are all over the place. According to NJ.com, after Jeremih missed the final boarding call, a member of his entourage then attempted to pry a jetway door open to allow the singer to board. A Port Authority spokesperson said that the person instead tried to hold open the door after the plane was readied for takeoff to allow Jeremih to make the flight.
The New York Daily News writes that Jeremih and another member of his entourage actually sneaked onto the plane after the final boarding call before personnel became aware of what was happening and alerted authorities. TMZ offers another account entirely, writing that Jeremih was actually the one who pried the plane’s door to allow some of his tardy musicians to board.
Obviously Jeremih didn’t make it to Fresno. He spent the night detained by Port Authority. Regardless of which account is true, it’s all pretty stupid.
