(CNN) A Tennessee woman turned herself into the FBI on Tuesday after she was accused of assaulting two flight attendants during a Spirit Airlines flight last month, the Justice Department announced.

Amanda Renee Henry was charged in a criminal complaint with interfering with a flight crew, after an incident on a November 27 flight from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to Nashville.

During the flight, Henry allegedly consumed so many alcoholic drinks that one of the crewmembers decided to cut her off, according to the criminal complaint. She allegedly became disruptive, appeared to be intoxicated and was witnessed by other passengers vaping during the flight. Henry, 43, also allegedly made other male passengers uncomfortable when she placed her hands on one of them and made lewd sexual advances, according to the complaint. ............................(more)

1. Hope she faces some severe consequences

Like a permanent addition to the no-fly listing at the very, very least.

2. Most airlines stopped serving alcohol on flights some time ago. Sounds

as if Spirit needs to do the same.

In fact, I think they should change the beverage service on short flights to by request only. With the problems of the carts blocking access to restrooms or seats for maybe half of the flight time, and some people “nursing” drinks so they don’t have to wear masks, it might be easier.
