A Tennessee woman turned herself into the FBI after she was accused of assaulting two flight attendants during a Spirit Airlines flight last month, the Justice Department said.
Amanda Renee Henry was charged in a criminal complaint with interfering with a flight crew, after an incident on a November 27 flight from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Nashville. During the flight, Henry allegedly consumed so many alcoholic drinks that one of the crewmembers decided to cut her off, according to the criminal complaint. She allegedly became disruptive, appeared to be intoxicated and was witnessed by other passengers vaping during the flight.
A second flight attendant assisted with restraining Henry, who kicked and pulled the hair of one of the crewmembers until they were able to handcuff and place her into a seat, according to the complaint.It took an off-duty firefighter, who happened to be a passenger on the flight, to sit with Henry and keep her calm until the plane landed at Nashville International Airport where she was briefly detained by local police on a public intoxication charge, according to a news release.
