Air travel, renowned for its potential for unpredictability, took a turn for the bizarre last week when Kamaryn Gibson, a 25-year-old woman from Kansas, was detained after causing a disruption on a Southwest Airlines flight. The incident, which culminated in a physical confrontation between Gibson and a sheriff’s deputy, has shone a spotlight on passenger conduct and the need for adherence to in-flight rules.
The flight, originating from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, was forced to return to the gate after Gibson, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, began causing a disturbance. According to Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Capt. Jason Rivarde, Gibson’s initial transgressions involved putting her feet up on the seat in front of her and kicking the passenger seated there.
Efforts to defuse the situation by deputies were met with resistance from Gibson, who refused multiple requests to disembark from the plane. What followed was a physical tussle that ended with Gibson biting and kicking a sheriff’s deputy. Passengers, who had borne the brunt of the delay, cheered as Gibson was finally dragged off the plane.
This incident is a reminder of the importance of respectful behavior while traveling, especially in confined spaces like an airplane. The charges leveled against Gibson, which include battery of a police officer, disturbing the peace while drunk, resisting an officer, and criminal mischief, underscore the serious legal consequences of such conduct.

Time to ban alcohol on all flights and at sporting events. 30,000 feet in the air and drunk a-holes is a bad combination for all concerned. Attendance at sporting events used to be enjoyable and safe until alcohol changed the atmosphere. Especially with football where they are allowed to get tanked in the parking lot before the game.From that point on civil behavior is gone.

They normally don’t let drunks board the plane in the first place. I was returning from Las Vegas aboard a charter flight. Two drunk men attempted to board the plane, but were stopped at the gate. Being it was a charter flight, they had to book a completely new flight at their expense. Furthermore, on the same flight, a flight attendant cut me off after 2 beers.
