Police Confront DFW Airport Karen After Vodka Tonic-Fueled Drunken Rampage
A woman trying to fly from Dallas – Fort Worth to Columbia, South Carolina on American Airlines was barred from boarding because she appeared drunk after a couple of vodka tonics. She assaulted the gate agents. And she wasn’t even a leisure traveler – she was on a business trip with a colleague. And she even admitted to throwing back the drinks.
The incident unfolded at DFW airport’s gate C39. After the gate agents denied her, she ‘appealed’ to the captain who – unsurprisingly – was unswayed. That’s when she proceeded to attack three gate agents using her cellphone as an improvised weapon.
Police were alerted and they detained her as she attempted to flee the area. She was then handcuffed and seated in the gate vicinity while officers conducted interviews.
The gate agents recounted the assault in detail to the authorities. After they said they wanted to press charges, more drama ensued. The passenger alternated between contrition and resistance. Despite initially appearing remorseful, she fiercely opposed her arrest, leading to a physical altercation with law enforcement officers that resulted in her being subdued and placed on the ground.
This entire episode was captured on police body cameras. The footage has been made public. The woman involved in this incident remains unnamed, with the footage surfacing online months after the occurrence.
