Mum-of-two caused flight emergency landing after attacking cabin crew

A social worker who punched and screamed at the cabin crew on a plane to Turkey forcing an emergency landing has been sentenced to four months in prison.

The mum-of-two's picture has emerged for the first time as a district judge ordered her to be jailed for four months, pending an appeal. McCaroll, from Co Antrim, pled guilty at Antrim magistrates court to four counts of common assault, as well as criminal damage and being drunk on a plane and behaving in a drunk and disorderly way, reports the Mirror.

The court heard previously she had started shouting and swearing at crew members on the plane, calling the cabin manager "big lesbian b******". McCarroll then continued to drink more booze and became more abusive to the cabin manager, calling her a "f****** s**t" and "w***e b******". She had also been "openly using a vape", the court heard, despite them being banned on board.

The court also heard McCarroll went to the front of the plane after the toilet incident, where she got hold of the intercom and was “screaming down it loudly” to such an extent, the captain had to switch it off so he could hear incoming transmissions from air traffic control.
