Atlanta airport traveler punches Spirit Airlines ticket agent after being denied boarding, APD says
2023-06-06
Friends don’t let friends drink and fly.
[WSB-TV] CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — A woman was arrested after officials say she hit a ticket agent at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

According to an incident report obtained by Channel 2 Action News, at 9:40 p.m. on May 11, Atlanta police were dispatched to Concourse E-Gate 3 at the Atlanta airport after receiving reports of a woman attempting to push her way through the gates and onto the jet bridge.

When officers arrived, the Spirit Airline ticket agent told them that Tearaney Burroughs assaulted her.

According to the investigation, Burroughs hit the victim after she was denied boarding because officials believed she was intoxicated.
Or just entitled and stoopid? Why not all three?
Another ticketing agent told police that he saw Burroughs punch the victim in the face.

#8  Seems like the ticket scanner would have been better served to flop like Lebron James and called their lawyer immediately. At worst it would have been pay for the rest of the shift while they “recovered” in the break room leaving their boss to deal with the irate and drunken passenger. At best, they could have parlayed fake PTSD into a reassignment as a baggage stealer handler.

Some might say that's a plus.
