On 29^th June, Dutton and his husband boarded a United Airlines flight that headed from Alaska to San Francisco.

The federal mask was declared mandatory for airlines on 13^th Sept. which extended till 18^th Jan.  2022.

The flight attendant tapped the shoulder of Dutton’s husband and asked to put his face mask again, to which he disagreed. However, authorities said that Dutton got up from her seat next to her husband and scolded the flight attendant for touching her husband. The flight attendant tried to explain to Dutton but she kept on shouting while she walked toward them.
