Bodycam Corroborates Frontier Gate Agent’s Account in NJ Sisters’ Case Resolved Through PTI

Newly released video mirrors staff descriptions of the May 15 Orlando incident.

Overview

  • Kiera Lyons, 22, and Maura Flores, 31, were removed from a Frontier flight at Orlando International Airport for alleged intoxication and a disturbance before the confrontation.
  • Orlando police body-camera footage captures the gate agent saying the younger, smaller sister pushed her first and the older sister pushed her afterward, with nearby airline staff corroborating the account.
  • Arrest affidavits note the employee suffered minor injuries from the alleged shoves.
  • Court filings show both women were referred to a pre-trial intervention program on Sept. 17, closing the case and allowing for potential dismissal upon successful completion.
  • The sisters told officers a male employee touched Kiera’s chest, a claim she demonstrated by pushing an officer on camera, and coverage differed on whether Maura’s charges appeared in some court record searches.
