An entire Delta flight from Dallas to Boston had to exit the aircraft after a drunk passenger refused to get off the aircraft, new bodycam footage showed.
The passenger was slurring their words and struggling to stay awake as authorities repeatedly tried to get her to leave the flight, according to police bodycam video.
The woman claimed she’d had just two shots of booze before admitting she actually downed six glasses of wine while waiting for the delayed flight — as a flight attendant told cops the passenger had also consumed Prosecco and two shots of tequila on board.
“I do not trust this state and I’m trying to go home, so do not hold me here,” the woman, identified as Alicia by the Daily Mail, said in the footage from the April 14, 2024 flight.
“You need to stand up and get off the airplane, ma’am,” the officer can be heard saying in the footage.
“No, I don’t,” the disheveled woman responded with her eyes closed.
When medical personnel also failed to convince Alicia to get moving, police directed the rest of the passengers to exit and physically removed her.
“Give me my one and only warning back,” she wailed as officers handcuffed her. “Why would you do that? Why would you do that? All I was trying to do was fly home!”
“Because you didn’t want to fly me?” she pathetically continued.
“Ma’am, I am not the airlines,” the officer replied.
Alicia spat on the ground as cops escorted her off the passenger boarding bridge.
Back in the terminal, she was confronted a chorus of disapproval from her angry fellow passengers, who yelled “boo” in her direction.
Alicia’s bad behavior didn’t end there.
After cops placed her under arrest for criminal trespassing and public intoxication, the Daily Mail reported, Alicia began flailing and throwing herself on the ground inside the airport.
She also refused to allow them to search her for weapons.
“Ma’am, I will prone you out if you don’t stop kicking,” a cop said, referring to the position in which someone is laid facedown.
Eventually, officers were able to get her inside a squad car, where Alicia can be seen in the video footage kicking her feet and hyperventilating.
“Stop going through my s–t!” she yelled at officers at one point during the ride.
“All I did was try and peacefully get out of a f–king plane,” she cried.
She can then be heard begging cops for a cigarette: “I need a cigarette…can I please just have one ciggy?”
“Can I have my vape?” she later asked, to which a cop responded, “No, you can’t have your vape.”
Ever uncooperative, Alicia clapped back at a female officer inside the station who asked her to undo her hands. “Undo my cuffs and I will,” she replied snarkily.
“No! What did I even do wrong?” she wailed after cops asked her, once again, to comply.
Finally, Alicia was led into a room and laid facedown on the ground, where cops could be seen removing her jewelry.
Delta Airlines did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
A representative for Dallas Fort Worth International Airport told The Post to file a Freedom of Information request for more details about the incident.
