42-year-old Amanda Henry reportedly punched a flight attendant and pulled another’s hair during a Saturday flight from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Nashville, Tennessee. During the altercation, another passenger restrained Henry by using zip ties on her feet. Nashville authorities said upon landing, Henry resisted arrest and cried ‘I didn’t do anything wrong’ and ‘shoot me.’
Spirit Airlines said in a statement that Henry was permanently banned from boarding any of their flights due to her behavior and plan to work with authorities with the investigation. ‘We do not tolerate aggressive behavior of any kind, and this passenger is no longer welcome on any of our flights. Thank you to our guests who assisted our crew and local law enforcement for their assistance. We will work with the relevant authorities to ensure this individual is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,’ said spokeswoman Nicole Aguiar.
