MOBILE, Ala. — A scantily-clad, intoxicated woman forced a flight bound for Texas to land Monday in Mobile, Alabama, so she could be removed from the plane, police said.
Sierra McClinton, 25, got into a fight with a passenger on a CommutAir flight from Jacksonville to Houston and had to be detained by a flight attendant and another person on the plane, WALA reported.
The plane landed in Mobile and the woman got off the plane wearing only a T-shirt and underwear. Mobile Airport police said she appeared to be intoxicated. She yelled obscenities and refused officer commands, police said.
McClinton, who is from Universal City, Texas, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and public intoxication, WALA reported.
