A Delta airlines passenger, under the influence of alcohol, caused all passengers to disembark and the plane to return to the terminal after she refused to disembark herself. Her actions ultimately led to her being handcuffed.
The woman, identified as Alicia, struggled to keep her eyes open and refused to leave a plane traveling from Dallas to Boston on April 14, 2024, as revealed in newly released bodycam footage.
She initially admitted to consuming two shots on the aircraft but later, after deplaning, claimed to have drunk six glasses of wine while awaiting her delayed flight.
A flight attendant also told police Alicia had a glass of prosecco and two shots of tequila while on board.
Police repeatedly asked Alicia to get off the plane, but she ignored them and refused to get up.
Her stubborn behavior meant every other passenger had to get off the flight so she could be physically removed by cops.
‘I do not trust this state and I’m trying to go home,’ she said, slurring her words. ‘So do not hold me here.’
‘You need to stand up and get off the airplane, ma’am,’ the officer replied.
‘No, I don’t,’ she replied, eyes still closed.
A woman named Alicia could barely keep her eyes open as she refused to get off a plane from Dallas to Boston on April 14, 2024, resurfaced bodycam footage showed

Police brought on EMTs hoping to ‘sweet talk her off,’ but were unsuccessful, forcing police to make every passenger deplane.
As officers go to handcuff her, she began to resist.
‘Give me my one and only warning back,’ she begged.
‘Why would you do that? Why would you do that? All I was trying to do was fly home?’ she said, her voice sounding hoarse.
She then started questioning what she did wrong, and police reiterated to her that she refused to get off the aircraft.
‘Because you didn’t want to fly me?’ she replied.
‘Ma’am, I’m not the airlines,’ the officer said.
As she was walking up the jet bridge, she spat on the ground. As they rounded the corner back into the terminal, she was met with the large crowd of fellow passengers, who ‘booed’ her as she walked by.
‘I do not trust this state and I’m trying to go home,’ she said on the plane, slurring her word. ‘So do not hold me here.’
She was laid in a prone position several times throughout her arrest as she began resisting
Alicia was placed under arrest for criminal trespassing and public intoxication.
As they escorted her to the squad car, she became difficult, throwing herself to the ground inside the airport before refusing to allow officers to check her for weapons.
‘Ma’am, I will prone you out if you don’t stop kicking,’ an officer said, referring to the position where a person is laid facedown on the ground.
Officers forced her into the position as they held her handcuffed wrists. Eventually, they put her into the squad car.
Video footage from inside the car showed Alicia kicking the vehicle and hyperventilating, before telling officers to ‘stop going through my s**t.’
‘All I did was try and peacefully get out of a f**king plane,’ she wailed.
She changed tune as officers got in the car, asking: ‘Can I please have a cigarette?’
As she got out of the car at the station, she asked them: ‘Can I have my vape?’

‘No, you can’t have your vape,’ an officer replied.
‘I need a cigarette,’ she said, before whining: ‘Can I please just have one ciggy?’
Alicia did not stop resisting arrest after entering the station. When a female officer asked her to ‘undo your hands, please,’ the young woman sassily replied: ‘Undo my cuffs and I will.’
Officers repeatedly asked to cooperate, leading her to let out a high-pitched wail: ‘No! What did I even do wrong?’
Eventually, she was led into a room and once again laid in a prone position, her hair spread out around her as they removed her over shirt and jewelry.
