Narrative:
On descent into dtw, flight from dfw, a passenger became unruly in the cabin. While attempting to assess the situation, which later required police intervention at the gate in dtw, we flew the wrong radial out of fwa VOR on the mizar STAR. After flying about 10 DME, center told us to turn right to 060 degree heading and reintercept the STAR. No other events occurred and we flew the mizar STAR to dtw where the dtw airport police intervened.
