Airline gets serious on comic

COMEDIAN Wil Anderson has been released without charge after his arrest at a NSW airport, saying it was based on a misunderstanding.

The 43- year- old was arrested on Saturday, after police were called to the regional NSW airport over a “disruptive passenger”, and was held for several hours be- fore being released to perform at Wagga Wagga Civic Centre.

“I have a sore back and I was up and about pacing and there was a misinterpretation … I was just trying to stretch out,” Anderson, who has osteoarthritis, said.

A Qantas spokeswoman said a passenger was met by police after “behaving disruptively”.
