www.privateofficer.com Authorities at the Charlotte Douglas Airport said a flight was diverted to the airport when an unruly and intoxicated passenger had to be restrained on board and the pilots needed law enforcement assistance. Federal agents and the airport police department responded to meet the plane on the tarmac and take custody of the female.
Police said that the crew used duct tape to restrain the unruly passenger on a flight from Puerto Rico to Chicago.
The FBI said the woman slapped a crew member on the buttocks and pulled a blind passenger’s hair.
FBI Agent Peter Carricato said the passenger also used profanity and was touching and jabbing other passengers.
Authorities said 45-year-old Maria Esther Castillo of Oswego, N.Y., has been charged with resisting arrest and interfering with the operations of a flight crew.
The flight was diverted Saturday to Charlotte, and police say that Castillo fought with police officers who came aboard the plane. She now faces a detention hearing on Thursday.
