Federal prosecutors say the passenger was arrested last week after she became disruptive on an Alaska Airlines flight.
Updated: 15 minutes agoA 38-year-old woman was arrested on federal charges last week after she was accused of disrupting a flight from Bethel to Anchorage.
Caryn Denise Evan began yelling and hit someone she was traveling with as the plane was about to land in Anchorage on Nov. 12, according to an affidavit written by an FBI special agent and filed with charges. Evan is from Chefornak,Flight attendants moved the other person to a back row and tried to calm Evan so they could continue preparing the plane for landing, the affidavit said.
A breath-alcohol test administered at Hiland Mountain Correctional Center showed Evan’s blood-alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit for driving in Alaska, the affidavit said. A judge last week ordered Evan to be released without cash bail as long as she agreed to follow court orders and show up for future hearings.
