BOSTON, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Massachusetts State Police said an airline passenger was arrested after he allegedly sprayed foot powder on other travelers once the plane landed in Boston.

Police said Arthur Nicolson, 42, was charged with disorderly conduct Monday after he allegedly peppered other passengers with a 7-ounce bottle of Dr. Scholl's Foot Powder as he ran off US Airways Flight 67 at Logan International Airport, The Boston Globe reported Wednesday.

"This is what your airline gets for treating me bad," Nicolson allegedly yelled while spraying the foot powder.

Investigators said Nicolson had been booked for a Sunday flight that had been delayed for seven hours but he was removed from the plane and booked on the first flight Monday after he became irritated and told crew members he was suffering from pneumonia.
