An intoxicated young woman had a meltdown in Nashville Airport after police were summoned following a dine-and-dash incident at an airport eatery.
Intoxicated Woman Does Not React Well To Arrest In Nashville Airport…
Police body cam footage begins as the woman is approached, with officers asking if she paid her tab. She claims she did and is asked for her ID, which she pulls out from a lanyard around her neck. But she quickly becomes agitated, demanding her ID back and clearly demonstrating public intoxication by her both her words and actions.
She is arrested for public intoxication after trying to grab her ID back from one of the police offers.
At first, she seems to be in a dazed state.
Woman: Public intoxication is not even a thing in Indiana!
Police Officer: We’re not in Indiana, we’re in Tennessee.
Woman: Ok, Tennessee. Ok, Tennessee. I don’t care where we are. It’s not inappropriate.
She then begins to scream…and scream uncontrollably, calling for help from all within earshot.
Another young woman pulled out her phone and began to record, asking the cops to verify that she was intoxicated.
The woman was led out of the airside area of the airport, down an elevator (where she tried to escape), and out into a service area where a police SUV pulled up to take her to jail.
Her screaming continued as she was placed in the car, but she finally calmed down during the ride to the station.
By the time she arrived, she appeared intoxicated (asking, “What did I do wrong?!”) but also asked, “I can get out of here tonight, right?”
She was charged with:
- Theft of services
- Public intoxication
- Disorderly conduct (charge dropped)
- Resisting arrest
The 21-year-old had been reported missing and her mother was summoned to pick her up…
Here’s the video:
My Thoughts
So let me be frank, here. Isn’t it mean-spirited to share this bodycam footage humiliating this woman on what must have already been a bad day if she was running away from home?
Is it right that such bodycam footage is even released publicly at the expense of her dignity?
Those are fair questions…but I’m not sharing this story for its entertainment value. Whatever underlying problems exist or do not exist, we see a very troubled young person and yet I cannot think of a more sobering reminder that overconsumption of alcohol can lead to very adverse consequences. And saying it is not the same thing as showing why…I watch this and I never want to drink again.
Yes, there’s a huge difference between responsible alcohol consumption and not knowing when to stop, but I have more than one friend who has said, “One more won’t hurt” only to walk away staggering and have to be put into an Uber home…
Don’t stretch the limits…it’s just not worth it. This incident occurred in March, though the bodycam footage above was just posted this week, and I hope this woman is doing far better now. And kudos to the Nashville Airport police officers who handled this situation well. Police bodycams are an excellent accountability tool.
Is this a good time to bring up that many respected researchers and medical professionals consider homosexuality to be a mental disorder? It certainly gives credibility to the theory.
Or maybe it was just upset seeing all the conservative Trump supporters owning bars and restaurants in Nashville.
Who are these so-called respected researchers and medical professionals, exactly?
C’mon Dave, aren’t there also researchers and medical professionals who consider you to have a mental disorder?
Doctors don’t know everything.
Lol now that’s a Kamala voter if I’ve ever seen one.
@Andys … +1 . Well said .
My initial thought as well. A literal stereotype of one.
And taxpayers probably paid her liberal arts student loans.
Oh no, not those liberal arts loans…
I admire the calm demeanor of the gentleman watching this unfold while enjoying his meal and bottled water at the table.
If I had watched this unfold , I would have had another drink .
Just one week in a jail anywhere in Latin America. I guarantee she will behave after that experience.
There isn’t anything mean spirited about releasing this video. She threw away her dignity in a pool of alcohol. Addicts cannot recall their obnoxious and inappropriate actions. Perhaps this can be the reminder to seek help.
The professionalism of all the responding officers is magnificent. They treated this woman, who was obviously under the influence of something, with great restraint , respect and caring.
Regarding the woman who demanded to know if the subject was intoxicated, get a life lady. It’s clear something is amiss.
The person who should be most embarrassed in the video is the pseudo-justice-warrior Karen videoing with her phone on the sideline, demanding that the cops perform a breathalyzer test in the food court before arresting this person for public intoxication.
As if it wasn’t plainly obvious that there was something very wrong with that person and as if somehow the cops are required to convincingly prove intoxication to any random curious member of the public who just happened to witness the arrest.
Mr. Marcus, the police also had the body cam. But I do agree with the mind your own business, regarding stepping in to it.
How do we know there’s not a medical issue at play here? Numerous folks will take medication before a flight to ease their anxiety, it’s quite possible this wasn’t a moment of over-indulgence, but alas, we rush to judgement…
Running away from home? She’s not 12, she’s 21. Furthermore, had she been allowed on an aircraft, she would have been charged with a Federal offense and placed on a “no fly list”. So scream all you want, Sweetie. You just dodged a bullet. Hope you get help.
Whoever said homosexuality is a mental illness needs to get their head checked. Regularly!
