Monday, November 29, 2021

On Saturday night, a woman attacked two flight attendants on a Spirit Airlines to Nashville. She was restrained by a fellow passenger and yelled at police officers to “shoot me” when they arrested her. A 42 years old woman got arrested by police for public intoxication after the flight crew contacted officers on the ground at Nashville International Airport around 7 p.m.

At about 6 p.m. the flight took off from Fort Lauderdale. When the flight landed, crew members told officers that she attacked two flight attendants, punching one and pulling the other’s hair. When the passenger deplaned, another passenger was restraining her feet with zip ties. The woman smelled of alcohol, spoke in a slurred manner and her eyes were bloodshot.

In fact, she told officers that she drank “a lot”. After getting arrested, the woman yelled at the officers, used expletives and said she didn’t do anything wrong, and asked them to shoot her. She even stiffened her legs to prevent officers from closing the door.

She was admitted into jail on Saturday night at 8:40 p.m. and released on Sunday at 6 a.m.
