So then what happened? >> Then what happened? >> You were sleeping. You woke up. >> I woke up to them complaining about me. I don't understand what the problem is. I just want to get on the plane. I just WANT TO GO HOME. >> ALL RIGHT. I UNDERSTAND. Let me Let me see your ID so I can get some information. >> On March 2nd, 2021, Broward Sheriff's Office deputies arrested a passenger at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport for disorderly conduct. This case turns on one statute, Florida statute 877.03, breach of the peace and disorderly conduct. The law criminalizes acts that corrupt public morals, outrage public decency, disturb the peace, or constitute brawling or fighting critically. Florida courts have held that profanity alone is constitutionally protected speech under the First Amendment. >> She has my ID. I don't have. >> No, she might have the No, your driver's license or passport. >> Okay. >> Where's that mask? >> So, let's see. >> I had a mask. I have the This was fine. I got through TSA perfectly fine. So, I'm good. This is the mask. >> All right. So, >> thank you. >> It's Diaz. >> Yes. >> Let's go. Let's go talk up front. >> No, I want to talk right here cuz I'm not going I'm getting on the plane. >> See, the door is closed. They can't reopen.

And I'm not doing anything illegal >> for being in an airport. You're causing a disturbance. You can be arrested for that. >> You want to do that? >> It's up to you. >> I'm giving you the option. You can either listen. You can walk quietly. >> I want to go home, >> Miss Diaz. You can >> I want to go home and just be aing >> Well, let's go. Come on. >> No, I want to go home. >> Then you It's either you go up front with me or you go to jail. It's one or the other. >> For your safety, please do not leave luggage unlock. >> That's the only two choices we have. >> Persuasive Authority from City of Houston versus Hill 1987 reinforces that offensive language cannot be the sole basis for arrest. So, cursing at airline staff by itself does not satisfy the elements of section 877.03. What elevates this encounter legally is conduct beyond speech refusing repeated lawful instructions to relocate. and disrupting gate operations. A supervisor's later statement also describes property being knocked to the floor, which independently supports a breach of peacefinding. >> Where do you want me to go? What the You want me to told you? The same THING I JUSTING TOLD YOU. >> NO, I'm not getting arrested. Chill. I'm not getting arrested. Oh, no. I don't need to get arrested, bro. I'm fine.

So, >> I'm going to take them off. >> Can you turn the other way so I can take the other ones off? >> I don't want to I don't want to hurt you. I don't want to have to pull >> I don't want you to touch me, >> but I have to take your earrings off. You're not understanding me. It's going to be better if I do it than if they do it. >> That's not true. You didn't even let me talk. I didn't even say anything after I threw my [ __ ] on the floor. That's not true. Natural. Natural. >> Notice the charge filed. Disorderly conduct under section 877.03, not public intoxication under section 856.011. The subject's challenge on camera demanding proof of the word drunk in any report targets the wrong statute entirely. Whether she was intoxicated is legally irrelevant to a disorderly conduct charge that does not require intoxication as an element. >> Hey, you know what's funny? >> You're you're arresting me for what? Being disorderly or whatever the but I can read your mothering paper like [ __ ] >> You're meant to read it. This is This is for you to read. This is for you to read. You can read it. It's public record. The guy This the guy that's driving by. >> I can read. How the am I drunk? >> I just Where did I say drunk? [ __ ] your [ __ ] reading. Then how the am I distortedly, [ __ ] >> Did you say drunk? I didn't say is this. Do you see the word drunk in there? >> The whole reason why you came up here was because that stupid [ __ ] said I wasing drunk. >> Do you see the word drunk in my report? Do you? If you can find the word drunk in there, I'll give you $100 right now. >> Bringing your attention back to the date of the incident, which is March 2nd, 2021 at approximately 8:50 hours in the morning. Please tell me in your own words what happened regarding this incident. >> The thing is I've done a lot of um removal for intoxication. So I want to ensure that >> not a problem. >> I have the right info for this guests. >> What are you researching now? >> I'm looking for the the security information. Normally when we remove someone off the flight, >> we submit a secure information over to our internal department. >> So um going back to ensure I think I know which gas, but I want to make ensure that it's the right one. >> No problem. >> Um so when we do something like this, it's documented here. And you said March 2nd, right? >> March 2nd, 8:50 in the morning. >> Mhm. So, you're using your database to research your your incident. >> I want to ensure that I'm saying like you you've seen all these incidents. >> Yeah. You're you're researching your database to ensure that you give the proper description >> exactly of what happened cuz we have a lot that happened. Absolutely. I'm I'm sorry. >> If I would have known you were going to need to do this, I would have told you before we started. >> You see all this? >> Of course. I see. >> So, I have to ensure >> Yeah, >> that is the right one. >> Absolutely. >> Oh, okay. On the force question, Graham versus Connor 1989 governs reasonleness is judged from the officer's perspective at the time. Here the deputy used only the minimum restraint necessary standard handcuffing with no strikes or weapons that satisfies the objective reasonleness standard regardless of the subject's emotional distress during arrest. >> Yeah, that one. Okay, there you go. Okay. >> Guess was denied boarding because she appeared to be intoxicated. She was very loud and belligerent. She refus she was refunded and was arrested by BSO. Okay. So, she was apparently intoxicated at the gate. >> All right. Miss Allora was intoxicated at the gate. >> Um before boarding, we I spoke to her and I advised her that if she's in this intoxicated state, >> then I will not be able to abort her. >> Okay. um her friends, it was a group of about a lot of them traveling. Was a bunch of them about 7 8 9 10. >> Mhm. >> They seemed like they were all stoned, but the others were like controllably stoned, but she was uncontrollable. >> Um they tried to calm her down. >> What did you obser What did you What did you observe her doing that you think is uncontrollable? >> Um she her walk. No, as a GSC at the at the as a GSC, we're not supposed to tell them that you are intoxicated. You appear to be. >> All right. So, she her walk she fell. >> Okay. >> Um she was staggering. >> Okay. >> Her speech was slurred. >> Okay. >> Um her eyes was like in like what are you talking about? I'll let you stuff like that. >> Okay. >> Um yeah. So I I left the gate because it was not boarding time yet. Once I spoke to her, >> so I told her friends, get her some coffee, you know, take her to the bathroom, wash her up to see if she can board the flight. >> Mhm. >> Um, at boarding time, she was still falling over her bags, tripping, stuff like that. All her friends boarded. >> At this time, she started trying to figure out where she was, boarding with no mask. So, I stopped her. I said, "Ma'am, I have to put you for the next available >> my observation." And at that time she blew it. She lost it. She got all loud. Um calling us out of our names, destroying airport property like this. She tossed it over the floor. >> What is that? >> This the computer. >> The keyboard. >> Oh, she she grabbed the keyboard. >> She tossed the keyboard. She pushed it. Yeah. She tossed it on the floor. It was all on the floor. >> Okay. >> All right. So, um >> at this time you were like right by the gate. >> At this time we were at the gate. And what's that ticket counter? Is that >> the gates in the back? >> Okay. What's the name of that counter that you stand at? >> G2. >> G2. >> G2. That's the board. >> And at that gate is where you receive guests. >> That at the gate, that's where we board the guests and put them on the airplane >> and you take their tickets, scan them. >> So that's where she did the the property destruction. >> Yes, sir. >> Yes, sir. That's where and then the came over and at that time she was arrested. >> Okay. Under Terry versus Ohio, 1968, the deputy's initial contact required only reasonable suspicion of a disturbance, not probable cause. Probable cause for the arrest itself was established only after multiple refused instructions, satisfying the higher Fourth Amendment standard required to seize a person. As a secondderee misdemeanor, the charge carries up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. The $25 bond set in this case is consistent with that low-level classification. >> Um, >> can you describe her to me? Do you remember what she looked like? >> Yes. Young girl. She's about 22 years old. >> Um, she had like real kinky hair. Not kinky, but it's straight hair, but it was curly. >> Mhm. >> Um, she was, I would say, tall. >> Black female, white female. >> No, she's either white or Hispanic. >> White or Hispanic? Mhm. Do you remember approximately how tall? >> Probably about my height. Five, 5'5, 56. About that. >> Thin, heavy set. >> I would say medium. She's not thin and she's not heavy set. Jeez, I I remember her. Yeah. >> Okay. >> I remember her. Of course. She wanted to fight me. I remember her. >> Perfect. Do you wish to prosecute on behalf of Spirit Airlines for her her actions and and her behavior >> and the reason she was arrested? >> Um, that's not my call. That's my manager's call. My manager. >> Okay. If there's nothing else you'd like to add, I'm going to end the statement. >> Are you okay with that? >> I'm okay with that. >> At this point in time, the time is uh 2:11 p.m. on Friday, March 12th, and that will conclude the statement. >> Deputy grade B. Clear verbal warnings were given before any escalation to custody. Force used was minimal and proportionate, satisfying Graham versus Connor at every stage of the encounter. The deduction comes from failing to articulate on camera the specific 877.03 elements separate from the intoxication issue. Subject grade D. No physical resistance or violence was offered at any point during the arrest, but repeated refusal of lawful relocation requests and public disruption created the legal exposure that followed. Her legal challenge regarding the word drunk was articulate but misdirected at the wrong charge. Lesson one, profanity is protected speech, but refusing lawful orders is not. A civil dispute over a denied boarding became a criminal matter the moment lawful instructions were ignored. Lesson two, always identify the charge actually filed before arguing the facts. Disputing intoxication does nothing to a disorderly conduct charge that never required it. Lesson three, compliance during arrest, even under protest, meaningfully limits legal and physical risk. Nonviolent distress is not resistance and officers are trained to recognize that distinction.
