Jailed Delta pilot suspended
Man accused of trying to run over Griffin police with his private plane.

Delta Air Lines has suspended a pilot while officials investigate charges h
e tried to run over two Griffin police officers with his private plane.
Dan Wayne Gryder, 48, remains in the Spalding County jail, charged with two
counts of aggravated assault and obstruction. He is being held without bon
d and is scheduled to be arraigned on Friday, the sheriff=99s office
said.
Gryder, a Delta pilot and private aircraft instructor, was arrested Wednesd
ay at the Griffin-Spalding Airport.
=9CHe is suspended pending the completion into the investigation in t
his incident,=9D Delta spokesman Anthony Black said Thursday.
Griffin code enforcement officers were called to the airport Wednesday on a
report of a pilot disrupting the airport. Gryder was driving his car acros
s the runway and taxiway, Griffin Police Investigator Bryan Clanton said.
Police said the suspect gave two officers a fake name. After learning the p
ilot was Gryder, the officers tried to issue citations, police said.
Gryder refused to sign the tickets and boarded his plane, a 1937 DC-3A, pol
ice said. He started the engine and told one officer that if she moved, he
would strike her car, police said.
The officer, who was standing next to the plane, moved out of the way and s
ummoned backup.
More Griffin officers and Spalding County deputies flooded the area and ord
ered him to stop, but Gryder continued to taxi down the runway, police said
.
Gryder got to the end of the runway and tried to take off, but he was out o
f gas. Police arrested Gryder and took him to jail.
Gryder=99s actions disrupted air traffic, prohibiting flights from de
parting or arriving, police said.
=9CHe essentially shut the airport down for almost 45 minutes,
=9D Clanton said. =9CHis actions created a danger for all of our offi
cers, himself and others who lawfully use the airport.=9D
