A Chicago woman is facing a felony charge in South Florida after sheriff’s deputies said she attacked a worker at Miami International Airport on Monday morning.
Deputies with the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said TP, 22, was set to leave MIA on a Southwest Airlines flight and was trying to go through the security line at around 5:45 a.m. with oversized luggage.
An MDSO arrest report states that the worker, a senior who works for Ultra Aviation Services, told her she had to check the bag in with Southwest.
According to the report, P “told him it was a carry-on and she refused to go check it in with the airline.”
After a verbal dispute in which the worker tried to stop P from going through the checkpoint by holding her luggage, P pushed the worker to the ground, then got in line, deputies said.
Deputies said Southwest denied P boarding and “she became irate and started yelling and screaming.”
They said she was asked to leave the line but continued throwing a tantrum, using “obscene language.”
Cops took her into custody on charges of battery on a person 65 or older and disorderly conduct.
As of Monday afternoon, she was being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on an $1,150 bond.
