DENVER, CO - SEPTEMBER 9: Frontier employees and executives physically pull a 46-ton Airbus A320 out of the Frontier Airlines hanger at Denver International Airport in Denver. The plane reveals the new paint scheme of the Frontier logo reverting to the stylized "F" to look like that from the logo first introduced in 1978. The iconic animals on the plane's tale will stay and will be featured more prominently extending from the tale to the aft fuselage of the aircraft. (Kathryn Scott Osler/The Denver Post)

Overview

  • Flight attendants determined the woman was too intoxicated to fly and asked her to leave before she allegedly claimed she had a bomb.
  • Nashville police arrived around 7:50 a.m., roughly 20 minutes after the scheduled departure, and the plane left just before 9:45 a.m.
  • Frontier said all passengers were temporarily deplaned as law enforcement searched the aircraft out of caution, with no device found.
  • An arrest affidavit states the woman resisted removal by anchoring her feet and repeatedly yelling that the bomb was "right there."
  • Court records list charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and false reporting, as passenger video of the incident spread online.
