Can I ask my parents? >> I'm asking you. Are you an adult? >> I'm just so upset. Like, I'm so frazzled. >> Just take a breath. Okay, just take a breath. >> On December 25th, 2024, a late night flight from Cleveland to Tampa turned chaotic when an intoxicated woman escalated tensions midair. Passengers got harassed, a man got struck, and flight attendants scrambled to maintain order. Her antics hinted at main character energy gone wrong with a side of dependency no adult should carry. >> Hello. >> Hi. >> How are y'all? >> Good. Yeah, we got a intoxicated passenger at 41 Bravo. Okay. Um hit a passenger that was sitting right in front of her. >> When you say hit, what do you mean? Like >> that's what the gentleman claimed. He uh was seated right in front of her. Said it was an elbow, hand. Uh, do you know do do you know were there were there any altercations throughout the flight with her or anything like that? >> No, he came up to talk to us and after she left to tell us about him that he was causing trouble and >> I said to him, I said, "How much has she had to drink?" Cuz I could tell she was >> a little bit drunk. And then >> we had a short conversation and then that's when it escalated. >> Okay. Was there any flight interruption or anything like that? Flight interference? >> No. Okay. No, but when she took her cup away, >> it was a Starbucks cup that had >> the lime and it smells like >> So, she came on board during catch. >> I don't know if you need to save it, >> but no. >> Okay. Well, do we want to go ahead and get her off the place? >> Yeah, she's in the last row on your right, 41B. Um, I know the gentleman does want to claim charges, stress charges against her. talk to him. >> Yeah. No, and that's what I advised him that he's got to talk to and he's right beside her. >> No, he's in Yeah, we moved her to the last row in 41. He's in row 11. >> He's 11 D and E is husband and wife. >> Can we go ahead and get him off right now? >> Yeah. Okay. Go ahead. >> Do you want us to get him? >> Well, can you can you let me know which one it is? >> I'm sorry, man. What' you say? >> Oh, I just wonder if you wanted us to get him. >> Yeah, if if you don't mind. >> If you'll just get him for me. came out to play. >> Okay. >> How you doing? >> You the one that got hit? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> We'll talk real quick. I'll talk to them real fast. I can talk to you now while we walk. So, can you just kind of describe to me what happened? >> Well, it's when she sat down and and it started at the bar in the airport. >> Okay. She was trying to get my phone number, which I didn't give her, which pissed her off. >> Okay. >> And then uh >> Are you traveling alone? >> No. No. >> Okay. >> No, my wife's back here. >> Okay. >> Didn't make her happy either. >> Right. I understandable. Let's walk over here. >> But then uh sure enough, when we get on the plane, she's seated right behind us. >> Okay. >> She kept reaching out and touching me and giving me [ __ ] >> which I would have let go. >> Okay. If a man did that to a woman, >> right? >> But she's reaching out, touching me, giving me [ __ ] And then when she finally gets up to go to the bathroom, she takes her elbow and just bashes me in the side of the head. And I'm like, "What the hell?" She goes, "Well, you're frontier. Steal down there." >> I'm like, "Seriously?" And then she goes to the flight attendants and tells them that we've been screaming at her. >> From the moment she boarded, it was obvious this wasn't just a bad night. It was a performance. She sat behind a man, reached out and escalated minor annoyances into physical strikes. The witness's accounts lined up like a horror comedy script. >> And she said, "Is that your husband?" and pointed at him. And I said, "No." And she said, "Good, because he got into it with my aunt and he was a jerk. He's a jerk." And I go, "I don't know anything about that." >> Who's your aunt? >> Some drunk lady that was trying to sit my feet before I came, apparently. >> She was not her aunt. She doesn't like me. >> And then she's going to come off. I put my headphones on and she kept hitting me over and she's like, "Why haven't they given us drinks? You need to just tell me when the drink carts come." I go, "No one has drinks." She goes, "Everybody has drinks but us." I said, "Nobody has drinks. They haven't come with the drinks yet." And she ordered two drinks, which she got both of them and drank them. Then she's bugging him the whole time on the other side. I'm trying to ignore her. She also said something disgusting to you about your wife who's also on the plane. >> Are you all traveling together? We're together and they're both depend. Well, your wife's >> My husband's on the back of the plane. His wife's on the front of the plane. My kids are right next to me. >> So all y'all witness her hitting him in the head with this. >> So here's what happened. She hit me and I said, "Please stop hitting me." And she said, "I have to go to the bathroom. What do you want me to do? Crawl over you?" And she was kind of aggressive with me. And I said, "Then just ask me to get up because she's hit me several times before." And I was like, "Just leave me alone. Like she's drunk." >> All right. Hey, she's right here. Let me get up with her. >> Dad. Dad. Dad. Dad. >> Listen. in the >> Let's get off the flight and then we'll talk to you. Okay. >> All right. >> Okay. >> All right. >> Hold on. I just want to go this way. Like my ears. >> No, my dad needs to be on the >> What? What is that in your hand? >> My go. >> You just want to like throw it in your bag or something like that. Or they may have a piece of tissue or something. >> Why am I being treated like I'm the victim? I was hurt. It's going to be the whole queen knows it. I >> So look, >> can we walk into >> Let me let me stop. >> Are you on phone? >> What? Can my dad talk attorney while? >> Are you an adult? >> Hello? >> I'll speak to you. I'm not speaking to whoever's on the phone. I don't know who that is on the phone. Okay. So, look, I'm also frame with the airport police. I'm I'm here because there's been an allegation that you struck somebody with your elbow in the side of their head when you got up. Okay. heel. >> You said elbow to their >> to their ear to the side of their head. >> That sounds like a backwards like you'd be moving forwards towards the bathroom, which is the only time I got up. >> Okay. Um, you have your Miranda. >> Can we go somewhere? >> Dad, what do I do? This guy is trying to make me have some like elbow thing. >> All right. Well, look, before >> can you talk to me? >> Before I ask you before I ask you any further questions, I'm just going to read you your rights. Okay. >> I'm not saying you're being arrested right now, but I'm I'm advising you of your Miranda rights. Okay. >> All right. Do Do you understand the rights that I just read to you? I need a verbal answer. Yes or no? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Um, are you willing to answer questions or make statement without without attorney being present right now? Dad, can you go away from It's like the >> I just want to hear these questions. >> Can you walk a little he just said? >> It's just this is like so loud. >> Hold on. Look, let me just finish this part. Let me finish this part. >> As soon as officers approached her, the suspect immediately hid behind her father on the phone, treating him like her personal defense attorney. Her refusal to answer simple questions [music] without her dad showed an unhealthy level of dependency that was honestly embarrassing to watch. >> Literally two sentences left. Okay, I know that you can hear me. There's no way you can't hear me. I'm not a soft spoken person. Okay, so look, are you willing to answer questions or make a statement without an attorney being present right now? After the rights I read to you, you said that you understood them. The next question is, are you willing to answer questions or make statement without an attorney being present? >> It's well, um, >> it's a simple yes or no or no question. Just you're extending >> without an attorney. What about a parent? No, >> you're an adult. >> So, I think an attorney would be better at this point. >> Okay. So, you're not willing to answer any questions? >> Are you willing to talk to me about the allegations that are made against you? >> Can I ask my parents? >> I'm asking you. Are you an adult? >> I think >> Are you an adult? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was showing my parents though. >> Okay. >> On the phone. They were on the phone. I just need you to answer this one question. >> Is that a no without a lawyer? >> Do you have your ID on you? >> Yeah, you have a lawyer. >> Yeah, I know. That's why I don't I want to not talk about this without a lawyer. I don't even know what happened. >> So, you don't want to answer any of my questions. >> Without a lawyer now. >> Okay. All right. So, now I need your ID. Okay. >> So embarrassing other people. >> This is not on your schedule. Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. Do Do you have your ID on you? >> Yeah, of course. Look, I'm not I'm not trying to embarrass you. I just have a job to do. Okay. >> No, you're fine. You're merry Christmas, by the way. Sorry. So confused, but >> All right. So, is your ma'am ma'am? Is your name Catherine or Catherine? What is it? >> Catherine. >> Catherine. Okay. >> So, what we're going to do is >> So, I've read you your rights. >> Are you willing to at least give me a written statement about what happened? >> I just found out what happened. >> You don't remember? It's >> not that I don't remember. To my knowledge, I got up one time to go to the bathroom. The guy was the row in front of me. Okay. From what I heard from most people that were making fun of the >> Were you sitting? >> I was sitting behind him. The plane was a little late. >> Were you Were you aisle, middle, or window? >> I was um middle and so there this elbow thing. This guy was just Yeah, I mean >> So you got up you got up to go to the bathroom, right? >> Why would I intentionally elbow a stranger? I don't know him. >> This doesn't make any sense. >> Look, the thing is you want to plead your case now and I just read you your rights and you're telling me you don't want to talk to people. Dad, are you on there? >> Listen, >> I don't know. >> The officer read her Miranda rights twice. Yet, she continued to play the victim, claiming she was upset. She admitted to having drinks, but tried to minimize the damage, acting as if elbowing a stranger was just a common airplane occurrence. It was clear she wasn't ready for the consequences of her mid-flight tantrum. >> Talk to me, >> then I I have to reason your rights. Okay. >> You understand that? >> Can I give you your Miranda card back? sitting down. Dad, what do I do? Can you just help me? They're asking. I don't know. From what I recall, that's like what I didn't like. I don't know. >> How much have you had? How much have you had drink? How much? >> I only had one drink on the plane. >> Just one drink? What about What about prior to getting on the plane? >> Were you at a bar? >> No, a lot. But I'm not supposed to be talking to you without a lawyer, right? >> Okay. Well, again, you're trying to tell me and please >> help me. I know. I just I didn't know what I did till like right now. >> Okay. So, I'm going to read you your rights one more time. Okay, >> I'm just so upset. Like, I'm so frustrated. >> Just take a breath. Okay, just take a breath. >> Dad, are you there? >> Yes. >> We just need to sit down. >> Just take a breath, okay? Just let me read this to you. Look, I'll make you a deal. I'll read this to you and then we'll walk up here and I'll let you sit down, okay? And whether you talk up there or not is up to you, okay? But I'll read this to you one more time. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. Yeah. Are you willing to answer questions or make statement without an attorney being present? >> No. >> Okay. >> So, do you want to do you at least want to do you want to give me a written statement about what happened on the flight? >> I It's news to me even if my parents are talking to the flight attendants. No wonder this is >> either I can tell you what's going to happen in here or we can go out there and I can tell you. So, look, I'm going to I'm going to tell you what's going to happen right here. >> So, first option is I can take you to jail right now. I have every reason. I have everything I need to take you to jail right now. I have a victim and I have two witness statements being filled out right now. Okay? And everything that you told me just matched up with exactly what they told me. Okay? You was sitting in the seat behind him in the middle aisle and you said, "Oh, it's like I would have to be in front of him." No. When you try to get out of the aisle, that's when you elbowed him. Okay? purposely >> you said and what they're telling me and witnesses are telling me that you said, "Oh, you're on a frontier flight. Deal with it after you struck him with his your elbow." >> So, what's going to happen is I could take you to jail. However, what what's going to happen is I'm going to direct file it with the state attorney and let them see if I have enough probable cause and they're going to issue a warrant for your arrest for simple battery. >> Can we just walk out of here? I need to sit down. I don't feel well. So if now look now if we walk out here >> and you and you try to take off a run in or something like that. >> No no can we all you can like walk with me. Dad >> get the lawyer on the phone. This is ridiculous. >> Look I've been elbowed in the face on planes before. You know >> okay well then that person should have went to jail too. >> No but it's not intentional. That's the difference between a shaky plane. It was the plane grounded. >> Not trying to prove you wrong. this guy. >> I have witnesses saying that you were sitting there kind of constantly pestering them, asking about when the drinks are coming out, trying something about phone numbers with this guy, everything. Every excuse from drinks to turbulence sounded like a teenager blaming the world. It was unhealthy as hell to see a fully grown adult unable to take responsibility. Her antics stretched the officer's patience, but also highlighted how absurdly unprepared she was for the real world. next to me was okay. Look, I don't want to fight with you cuz let's just go with the version of the story that includes you being right. >> No, no, no. I want to go with the correct story. Okay. I'm not just making up a story. >> Can we just walk out of here? I feel I'm feeling really trapped. I'll talk to get a cup of water and watch. >> So, do you want to give me a statement about what happened? A written statement. >> I got you. Yeah. It's just my dad, not a lawyer. What? Yeah, it's whatever includes me going home. I >> use the bathroom statement about what happened. >> Okay. >> Okay. And if it's if you think it was a misunderstanding, say that nothing. >> I don't know this guy. It's not like I like victimized him. >> But be very brief and succinct in your statement. Do you think it's a Okay, I will. I just I I wonder why this person would be doing this. Like >> let's let's talking to your dad. Just talking to your dad. >> Just giving me guidance cuz I've never been in this situation. I'm so confused. >> Extending this further than you. >> All right, Dad. All right, I got to go. I'm Or say I'm But let me write the statement. >> Do you Do you want to give a written statement >> and then I can leave? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> All right. Come over here cuz you you're not going to be able to write sitting down. So, he's trying to say I like intentionally hurt him. >> Look, I've read you your your rights twice. I don't >> I just want to know what the act like I'm charged with. >> I told you that. >> I'm just trying to break this. I What is he trying to say? I did hit him. Elbowed him >> that you elbowed him in the side of his head >> intentionally. >> Yes. >> All right. That's insane. I don't even know him. Why would I do that to a stranger on an airplane? >> I don't know. I don't know. >> That's crazy. I wouldn't call it turbulence, but like strong like movement of the plane. What's a good word for that? Like >> I can't assist you in your statement. >> I'm just trying to explain it. Like why would I elbow a stranger? >> Wins. I'm not like trying to like I didn't even know this happened. >> Yeah, that's right. >> No. >> All right, hang on. So, the other thing I need you to sign, remember when I told you about the perjury? All this is saying is that you you swear in a firm that the statement that you give me is true and accurate. Okay. So, select that. >> Let me double check, but I'm 90% sure it is. >> Well, that's not your statement. >> Oh. Oh, >> that says X-ray work. >> The officer gave her a choice. Sign a notice to appear or take a direct trip to the local jail. She tried to argue the evidence while her father whispered instructions through the phone, proving once again she couldn't handle life's hurdles alone. It was a perfect example of an adult failing spectacularly at being an adult. >> Do you need to read your statement? >> Can I just say >> Hey, I'm just going to do I'm going to do an NTA. >> No. Yes, let's do that. Yes, I'll read it. I'll sign it. I It's right. I just wanted the water. >> Okay. >> Am I like We'll get you a water. >> Do anything. >> We'll get you a water. So, look. Do you want to sign this? >> Do you want to sign this? It's just saying to read it, but what's an ND? Whatever. >> It's a notice to appear. It's like it's a form of an arrest, >> but it's not a physical arrest. Okay. >> Whoa, whoa, whoa. You're doing that to me? >> Yes. >> I have to go to court. >> Yes. >> For what? >> For a misdemeanor. Simple battery. Wait. Okay. Um, >> with what ev I'm going to sign this, but with what evidence? >> The victim and witness statements. >> I could have pulled You guys wouldn't listen to me. The guy next to me. I had three witnesses. >> It's either NCAA or go to jail. >> Hear me out. Right now is not the time to ask questions. Okay. Okay. Fair enough. >> Do what's being asked. >> And then later on when you go to court, those are the times I ask your attorney. Those are the times. Right now is not the time. We can't bother you. >> We can't answer those questions right now. Okay. Where? Okay. You're all right. Thank you. I'm sorry. >> Yeah. No, you're good. >> What are we saying? So, >> all right. So, you you're going to have to hang tight. I got to go back there and do some paperwork and then we'll get you out of here. Okay. >> You thought if I did all this, I could leave. I'm really I have to go to the bathroom. Like, I have to like I mean, >> like I said, >> and I and Can I please go? Can I just throw you under? >> You just escort her to the bathroom and then if she wants to get a water, I'm going to go back here and do it. >> Did you just ask for a water? Did you not >> because I have to give you some paperwork, okay? And then you'll be on your way. >> Yeah. So, this is what we're going to do. We're going to do Hello. Hello. Hello. >> Look again. If you try to take off or anything like that, if you refuse to listen to him, you're going to jail. >> I'm not trying to like run away. I just have to go to the bathroom. >> Right here. And I believe there's a water fountain there. I was going to make a joke, but I'm afraid of a joke. >> Are you not listening to me? Cuz I feel like you're not listening. >> We're going to go to the bathroom here. Okay. You're going to go to the bathroom, do what you need to do, and we're going to get you a water and then we're going to come back here. >> Yeah. But >> do you understand that? >> I do. >> Perfect. Let's go. >> Can you not Can we actually like This is more of a police escort rather than mandatory cuz I'm really embarrassed. >> All right. Well, you're going to be with him. I'm going to go do some paperwork. >> So, this guy's like pressing charges against me for elbowing him cuz they just said he can't get money. So, what's the point of that? I don't know that. >> Look, that's the same thing that you're getting right now. >> In the end, the flight ended with her receiving a notice to appear for battery, proving that drama doesn't erase consequences. The court case concluded after she completed a diversion program, but the incident left a clear lesson. Dependency, poor self-control, and pretending confusion won't absolve bad behavior. She faced a battery charge for striking a fellow passenger. The case was resolved through a pre-trial diversion program and the charges were subsequently dropped.
