They said the woman was yelling at and arguing with an airline supervisor. According to a probable cause statement, the airline revoked her flying privileges and refunded her fare.
She then began to argue with officers, they said, when they advised her to leave the area as she was no longer a ticketed passenger.
Police reported that the woman did not follow their commands. She took her ID from an officer's hand and refused to leave.
