He repeatedly declined any assistance and started screaming “F-ck You” across the terminal, causing quite the scene.

Paywa was placed under arrest for public intoxication and transported to jail, where he was released and his case dismissed after an eight-hour intoxication hold. His social media shows him catching a return flight to New Mexico on Sunday.
