JetBlue passenger kicked off flight, arrested for spitting on flyer, hitting crew member

A 32-year-old woman was kicked off a JetBlue flight and arrested in Florida after she spit on a fellow passenger and hit a crew member during an angry rant that began when she discovered she was seated next to a young child, according to police.

The woman, identified by police as Valerie Gonzalez, was removed from the plane, causing the Feb. 14 flight to be delayed for more than two hours, according to flight-tracking site FlightAware. 

The Broward County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Gonzalez’s arrest to USA TODAY and said she was released on bond on Feb. 15. She was charged with “touch or strike battery.”

Gonzalez’s NSFW outburst was caught on camera by a fellow passenger who filmed the incident and posted it on Twitter.

“She is old, sorry,” Gonzalez says at the start of the video while sitting at a seat on the JetBlue flight from Fort Lauderdale to Las Vegas. “I didn’t do anything wrong.”

An incident report from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, obtained by local media, revealed she became agitated when she found out she was sitting next to a child.
