Estrada's Son Has CHP On Shoulder in Mid-Air

Erik Estrada's son has attracted law enforcement, but not in a CHPy way.

Sources tell TMZ Brandon Estrada was on a Northwest Airlines flight last night from L.A. to Memphis. We're told the 20-year-old Estrada became "unruly" with the staff during flight, forcing the plane to be diverted to Oklahoma City because of the incident. We've confirmed that Feds did board the plan when it landed, but we don't know if Estrada was taken into custody.

This afternoon Erik Estrada told TMZ, "My wife and I have been informed that our adult son Brandon has been involved in an incident. Brandon informed us recently that he has had stress and pressure at college." Brandon attends USC.

Erik continued, "We're told he has elected to see an on-campus psychologist, which I told him was a good idea." Estrada says he was unaware until today that his son was on meds for stress and depression.

31. Wanker son for sure, but at least he has the cajones to admit his son
is messed up and supports sending him to see a professional to get better
help! Unlike some other celebutards........with bad weaves and
hygiene! And at least his son is in college and is trying to make
something of himself! He may fail, but at least he's giving it a
shot! Betcha he also knows the difference between there/
their/they're and too/ to/two- something a lot ( 'a lot' is two words
TOO!) of posters here don't seem to understand! Good luck!

32. Erik Estrada was a complete babe back in his time. I remember when Chips first came out, I was a teenager. He was on the cover of our local TV Guide and I just looked at his picture for days. Funny, haven't really thought about that since. But seeing his picture now made me remember that time. Enough corniness, off to drink and bed.

33. observation time.... it seems that whenever there is a TMZ article about a non-white celebrity, there are immediate racist insults in the comment section, and that is encouraged and tolerated by almost all the other whites that post comments...and that spotlights the facs that this is indeed a very racist country

36. They probably wouldn't serve him because he is underage and had a fit. What a jerk.

42. #30, the families of the mentally ill do not have the power to prevent their free movement. That's a matter for the courts and very, very difficult to accomplish with someone who is just depressed and drinking on his psych meds. Families who attempt to hold others hostage go to jail. Figure out what you're talking about before you chastise the parents of an adult.

44. What is it with all these celebuspawns? Are they above the laws of the United States? (....and Chip Dip, I'm glad to see someone else has noticed the incorrect grammar and punctuation on these posts).
