Law enforcement for UA872?

Captain came on about midway through the flight to say that seatbelt sign would remain lit, but we were free to use the restroom. Captain also requested that everyone remain seated after landing because there was an incident that requires law enforcement. Anyone know what happened?

passengers telling the flight crew that "no matter what, I'm crossing my legs on landing"

Someone took the bait and got up while the seatbelt sign was on?

Well the captain did say we could get up even though the sign was on, so not this time! Problem is, no one was really sure if there was any active turbulence because the light was on the whole time.

Three officers boarded the plane after landing in SFO and escorted a man from the Y section. Still not sure what happened though!

A mid-flight incident ... drinking his own alcohol?

Vaping in the lav perhaps? But why the seatbelts?

Perhaps just coincidental? Unless the passenger was restrained somewhere and the FAs didn't want gawkers.

Maybe when the FA offered water he said "I wish it was vodka."

I did get some video, but nothing exciting. They just walked him off the plane.
