A woman was arrested at the Fort-Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on Jan. 6, after threatening and screaming at JetBlue gate employees.
A video of the incident was shared far and wide on Instagram after it was posted by user Dre London, who was in the airport during the woman’s arrest.
In the video, the woman is seen standing at the JetBlue counter, screaming and jumping up and down.
“Who does that to a woman like me? Get me out of this [expletive] up place, you rapist. Get me out of here, get me out of here,” she shouts at the JetBlue employee in the video.
The woman also screamed that she’s homeless and has a gun before grabbing her bag and walking away.
“I have a gun on me because I’m homeless,” she says, “get me out.”
The JetBlue staffer is seen talking on the phone and doesn’t respond to the woman.
Passengers waiting at the gate could be heard asking about what she said or if she had a gun. The woman then walks off.
“I wake up this [a.m.] to my video going viral & many calls including @foxnews - So yesterday I was stuck in the airport for 10hrs as #JetBlue flight was canceled due to computer failure,” captioned London.
“They said we would send another plane from New York but this took many hrs. While in Fort Lauderdale airport everyone remained calm apart from this woman who went crazy on #JetBlue staff called him a rapist & she said she had a gun on me + many crazy things in front of kids,” he adds.
A JetBlue spokesperson told Fox that the woman wasn’t allowed on the plane because she was drunk.
“On January 6, crewmembers at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport requested assistance from local law enforcement was requested after a customer was denied boarding for indications of intoxication and became disruptive,” the spokesperson told the news outlet.
“I did this guys job for 4 years with that exact airline,” said someone in the Instagram video’s comments section
“This is why I longer do that job,” the person continued.
It’s not clear whether the woman was charged with any crime.
Other details about the incident are not clear.
