A Florida woman is in custody after faking a medical issue during a flight, which ultimately forced the plane to be diverted, in order to get a bigger seat.
The pilot declared an emergency and turned the plane back to Pensacola after the woman reported having trouble breathing, Pensacola Police Department public information officer Mike Wood told NBC News. Flight crews called authorities to Pensacola International Airport, where the woman admitted she had made up the medical issue in order to get a bigger seat on the plane.
The woman was taken into protective custody under the state's Baker Act, which allows authorities to detain individuals believed to pose a threat to themselves or others.
To jail with her. There have to be strong consequences for actions such as this. To deter others from trying it!
The 'Florida Woman'.
FLORIDA! What’s in their water?!
