Six Police Officers Drag Raving Woman Off Frontier Airlines Flight

Matthew Klint Posted onMarch 24, 2023November 13, 2023 21 Comments

To Miami, where a Frontier Airlines flight never even got off the ground for Philadelphia before a cadre of six police officers removed a raving woman from the flight. Why six officers? This woman bites, hits, and scratches.

It isn’t even clear what prompted the breakdown in the first place, but video captured by another passenger shows 24-year-old Simone Bryna Kim standing in the aisle of a Frontier Airlines A320 seemingly screaming at a man seated a couple rows back.

A Good Samaritan tries to calm the woman down, but it is no use: the police were dispatched to remove her from the flight. That’s where things took a bad turn. Rather than just comply, she refused to disembark.

In order to avoid a David Dao situation being captured on video, these days when there is a disruptive passenger the plane is emptied before the troublesome passenger is removed. The plane was emptied, but Kim still refused to get off.

When forcibly removed by police officers, she began kicking first, then dug her fingernails into an officer, then tried to bit three officers. As the video below demonstrates, at one point six police officers dragged her down the stairs from the jet bridge and across the tarmac to a waiting car.

She was taken to the police station at Miami Airport before being taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. She posted bail and has since been released.

Kim now faces a laundry list of charges including:

  • two felony charges of battery on a police officer
  • one felony charge of resisting an officer with violence
  • three misdemeanor counts of assault on a police officer
  • one misdemeanor trespassing charge

Eventually, Frontier Airlines Flight 2426 took off for Philadelphia (PHL), minus one passenger.

CONCLUSION

We don’t even know what caused the incident onboard, but Kim now faces a hefty jail sentence and fine for resisting arrest and attacking police officers. Just another Frontier Airlines flight from Miami…

      Yep. This person is a tourist that just wanted to get a tour of the inside of a plane! She’s a political prisoner dangit! Also, the pictures didn’t load for me so I don’t know what she looks like

          Yea! All those windows were already broken! Nancy Pelosi smeared the feces on the walls! They weren’t stealing documents and laptops, they were borrowing them, like a library! They weren’t gassing the cops, they were clearing their sinuses for them! They weren’t chanting “Hang Mike pence” because they wanted to hang him, they wanted to hang out with him!

          If that doesnt stick, then it was antifa!

            You seem very angry and bitter which takes a lot of energy and headspace that could be better used. It doesn’t matter the actual article or topic being discussed, You are determined to bring partisan politics into it. There is more to life than politics and “us against them”. You could try finding the good in people. You could try finding common ground with people with whom you don’t agree. You could try to focus on areas where you do agree with people of other walks of life and opinions. Turn off cable news. I think you’d be much happier. Life is short, don’t waste it focused on hate and anger.

      And Frontier. In these articles it’s generally going to be Frontier or Spirit a very large majority of the time. I get that air travel is super accessible these days, which is good, but the LCC construct – even though it’s a business operating model and not necessarily a passenger-attraction model – sure does seem to attract a certain subset of the population.

        The only thing being made more obvious is the fact that there is a population of adults in this country who never developed the skills to think for themselves. They are easily swayed into believing all kinds of nonsense without taking the time to differentiate fact from opinion.
        Someone once said you are entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts. Congratulations on being one of the sheep.

    Is she wearing a Miami Subs hoodie? I used to love Miami Subs.

    In things like this I always wonder what the person thinks as they look back on how they day went vs how it was supposed to go, and how if they just kept their cool it all would have worked out.

    I was boarding a flight to Philly, on time, nice weather… just getting seated… in a few hours I’ll be there doing what I had planned… But wait, did one of these people that I never have to see again say something to me? Keep my cool and keep on going, or throw it all away and pick up three felony charges in the next 45 minutes? convicted felon here I come!

    Disgusting how someone also thinks it’s necessary to turn this political! The worst part is Matthew allowing it to continually keep happening, blog after blog after blog!

    No watch. My comment will be the one that gets deleted!

    Dude, “A hefty jail sentence”?
    Here, let me quote you:
    two felony charges of battery on a police officer
    one felony charge of resisting an officer with violence
    three misdemeanor counts of assault on a police officer (Only in Miami can this be a misdemeanor)
    one misdemeanor trespassing charge
    And she’s out on bail the same day. Do you really thunk anything will happen to her? Or just hopeful like the rest of us?

    That man in the blue was aggravating the situation. There was no need for him to continually put his hands in her face and continue to escalate the bad situation. She wasn’t even talking to him.
