A Southwest Airlines pilot was reportedly removed from a cockpit before a flight Wednesday after smelling of booze, and now faces a DUI charge.

David Paul Allsop reeked of alcohol and may have exhibited other signs of intoxication, a source familiar with the incident told CBS News. He was pulled from the cockpit before the flight, which was to depart Savannah, Georgia, for Chicago's Midway Airport.

Airport police removed him before the plane could take off, according to the report.
