Debby Dutton, 50, wrote she was embarrassed by her actions but felt the victim was “dishonest.”

SAN FRANCISCO — A Texas woman who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge for pushing a flight attendant who was asking her husband to wear a mask has received a one-year federal supervised release term, records show.

Debby Dutton, 50, of Cypress, Texas, was charged last year with assaulting the flight attendant on a June 29, 2021 flight from Alaska to San Francisco, where Dutton and her family were planning to spend a brief layover before catching a flight home. Dutton confronted the attendant who woke up Dutton’s husband to ask him to cover his face with a mask.

“The stewardess said to me: how? and I touched her to show her how ,” Dutton wrote. “After that moment she started to yell that why did I push her, I immediately said I was sorry, but she got so agitated, that I think that she knew how to act. I returned to my seat, very scared, crying because of what had happened, terrified, for just having touched her and the stewardess’s drama.”

Dutton added that she had a panic attack and that she was handcuffed by “a huge number of police officers” when the flight landed. She added: “how can a person cause so much harm with lies, enough to ruin someone’s life, that is how I have felt. I respect the work of stewardesses, a lot, but I also think that she has been dishonest with these charges.”

As Texas home values skyrocket, state officials wrestle with how to slow property tax increasesTexas school districts, cities and counties rely heavily on property taxes to pay for roads, libraries, police, firefighters and public schools. But lowering tax bills has long been a difficult endeavor. I recommend a good hard look at Prop 13 and it’s consequences before heading down the same path. A few modifications might make it more workable. But beware the damage to the education system. And tax the commercial properties! We need a progressive state income tax. And a new government. Property taxes should be fixed at the purchase price, with a capital gains tax on proceeds from a future sale. Done, solved it. Nobody should be taxed out of their homes.
