Re: Public Freakouts
last karen. Airport police at Southwest Florida International Airport arrested 23-year-old Adelaide Schrowang after they were called to help flight attendants remove her from the plane when she refused to wear a mask, an arrest report said. Police said the airliner’s cabin crew said Schrowang was disruptive as the plane sat at the gate, refusing to wear a mask, arguing with flight attendants and spitting at other passengers. The captain ordered her removed from the flight, but she refused to leave her seat. Authorities arrived to escort her off the plane. When Schrowang refused to leave and began yelling at officers, police restrained her, handcuffed her and took off the plane, police said. Schrowang continued to be disruptive during her trip to the Lee County Jail, as well as during the booking process, the report noted. Schrowang was charged with resisting an officer, trespassing and interference with aircraft operations. She remained in custody Friday morning under a $65,000 bond. ======================= She was released from the Lee County Jail on Thursday after spending more than two weeks behind bars. “That day I had been experiencing a lot of anxiety,” said Schrowang, via Zoom from her mother’s home in Naples. “That day was just particularly a boiling point from a lot of stuff going on.” Schrowang said she boarded the plane with her face mask on. “So I had my mask. I was wearing it when I got onto the plane and everything,” she said. She did take it off at her seat when she said no one was sitting near her. “I was asked to put it on, I would put it back on (and) remove it. When I go into those states of panic, it’s like hyperventilating.” Federal law states passengers must wear a mask at all times on a plane due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Police records also report she spit on other passengers. Schrowang said she didn’t do that. “I do not have any recollection of spitting on anybody. I am not a harmful person. I would never want to disturb another human being,” she explained. She’s since watched the videos other passengers filmed, all of which had their travel plans delayed. “I’ve seen videos of me and I’m very talking with my hands and it’s very intense. I want to extend my deepest apologies for that,” Schrowang said. Schrowang said looking back, she feels she should not have been traveling. “I would not have flown. There was text messages I was sending to my mom of just panicking, acknowledging I don’t need to be flying, so I just wish that I would have had more of an awareness and just chosen to not get on the plane,” she said. Schrowang’s attorney said she got out of jail and didn’t have to pay any of her original $65K bond. However, a judge ordered that she remain on house arrest at her mother’s Naples home. Schrowang also isn’t allowed to fly on an airplane while her case continues. ===================== The woman that was kicked off a Delta Airlines flight at Southwest International Florida in July was sentenced to six months probation. he was also sentenced to 16 days in jail, but with credit for time served, she will not serve additional time behind bars. During probation, Schrowang cannot consume alcohol or illicit substances, must undergo a psychiatric evaluation, and will be evaluated for substance abuse. She must also pay court fees and attorney fees. Entire vid: |
