Jeremih arrested after allegedly trying to help friend sneak through airplane jetway door

NEWARK, N.J., Dec. 13 (UPI) -- R&B singer Jeremih has been arrested for alleged obstruction and disorderly conduct at Newark Airport Friday.

TMZ said the recording artist and his entourage were late boarding a US Airways flight and, although Jeremih made it onto the plane, several of his bandmates didn't get through the door in time.

Jeremih and one of his friends then allegedly pried open the jetway door to let at least one other man in, which is illegal.

Port Authority Police said Jeremih and his friend were taken off the plane, arrested and charged with obstruction and disorderly conduct. The man who came through the door was arrested and charged with defiant trespass.
