[ QUOTE ]
You are the Captain of a SWA 737-300. While stopped on an active taxi way, number 2 to take off, you get a call from an FA stating that an intoxicated passenger is becoming verbally abusive, because he wants to utilize the lav. While talking to you (the captain), the FA tells Alky Hall he will have to remain seated until the plane is in the air. Stuborn Alky Hall then takes it upon himself to make his way into the lav.

What do you do?

I'd move out of line if possible, ask ATC to summon the airport police, and let them come get him. I'm not going to make ALL of the pax late by taxiing around for 45 minutes because of the actions of ONE. The minute he did something to make the flight attendant concerned enough to call the cockpit right before takeoff, he violated federal law by interfering with a flight crew. Screw him, get him off the plane and be on your way.
