The Santonio Holmes iPod story that got blown out of proportion

Earlier today there were news reports that suggested Santonio Holmes got kicked off a flight for not turning off his iPod. And uh, turns out that whole thing was a farce.

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.

So this started with “Santonio Holmes continues to be a d-bag on society” to “he turned off his iPod when we told him to.” Wow, some excellent fact checking and reporting there. Next thing you know we’ll hear a rumor about Holmes making fun of disabled kids and beating up innocent girls in a bar.

Oops.
