LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police say they arrested an intoxicated Long Beach, Calif., woman who repeatedly tried to board an airline flight against the captain's orders Thursday evening.
According to the arrest report, shortly after 5:30 p.m. on June 28, officers at the Louisville International Airport were called to the terminal at gate A1 on a report of an unruly passenger.
When officers arrived, they found 47-year-old Kelly W. Bryant. Police say she had been denied boarding by the captain of the aircraft and was told that she could come back the next day.
"After being rebooked for the next day, the subject was escorted out of the secure area of the terminal and was told to stay out of the secure area until her flight in the morning," police say.
The officer who spoke to her allegedly smelled alcohol and noticed that she was having trouble walking.
"While being escorted out, the subject started to create a disturbance and was told to calm down, which she complied with," police say.
But that wasn't the only run-in with Bryant officers were to have that day.
Shortly before 7 p.m., officers were again called to the secure side of the terminal where police say Bryant was once again trying to board the aircraft.
"Once again, we escorted the subject out of the secure side and advised TSA that she did not have a boarding pass that was valid until 6/29/2012," police say. "The subject was told to stay out of the secure side once again until her flight in the morning."
But even that wasn't the last incident with Bryant that day.
Just before 10 p.m., police say she tried to get through the security checkpoint.
When officers arrived, Bryant was told to leave the property, at which time she allegedly threw down her bags, "creating a disturbance," and in a loud tone, said, "go ahead and arrest me!"
She was arrested and charged with alcohol intoxication and disorderly conduct, both of which are misdemeanors.
