An American national who arrived at the Bandaranaike International Airport yesterday evening to take a flight back to America after visiting this country did not get a chance to board the plane.
It was because he drank too much alcohol. Acting on the notification of the airline and the airport guards, the airport police took him into custody and kept him at the police station until this morning.
The airport police stated that the American was kept in police custody for his safety and that the necessary facilities were provided to him to return to America this morning.
