CABIN ATTENDANT RPT; B757; MIA-LAX. PAX REFUSED TO SIT DOWN DURING TAXI. CAPT CALLED FOR POLICE TO MEET FLT. PAX AND FAMILY REMOVED.

Narrative

A PAX WAS WALKING AROUND THE CABIN; WHILE WE WERE TAXIING BACK TO GATE TO HAVE THE COM EQUIP CHKED. ANOTHER FLT ATTENDANT ENCOUNTERED HIM IN THE FORWARD CABIN AND TOLD HIM TO RETURN TO HIS SEAT. HE REFUSED. SHE INFORMED HIM TO SIT; AND THAT IF HE DIDN'T; SHE WOULD HAVE THE AUTHS MEET THE FLT. I GOT INVOLVED LATER; BECAUSE I WAS WALKING THROUGH THE CABIN AND HE COMPLAINED TO ME ABOUT IT AND WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE COMPANY. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE FLT ATTENDANT HE HAD THE ENCOUNTER WITH WAS THE #1 FLT ATTENDANT AND HE WAS DETAINED BY THE AUTHS. THE FLT THEN DEPARTED AFTER THE COM PART WAS REPLACED. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THAT THE MAN WAS WALKING AROUND THE CABIN BAREFOOTED DURING BOARDING; BECAUSE HE 'JUST LIKED TO WALK.' AFTER THE MAN REFUSED MANY REQUESTS FROM THE FLT ATTENDANTS TO SIT DOWN; THE PURSER TOLD THE CAPT; WHO DECIDED TO HAVE THE POLICE MEET THE FLT WHEN THEY GOT TO THE GATE. THE POLICE DETAINED THE MAN; WHO GOT BELLIGERENT WITH THEM; AS WELL AS HIS FAMILY. THE FLT LEFT WITHOUT THEM.
