Passenger Arrested for Disorderly Intoxication at Orlando Airport

Alaska Airlines staff at gate 32 of Orlando International Airport denied boarding to a passenger who appeared intoxicated. The airline offered to rebook her on a flight the following day, but the passenger began screaming and disrespecting employees, insisting she was coherent and not under the influence.

Escalation

The disturbance drew the attention of officers who heard the yelling from down the hallway. Police attempted to get the passenger to lower her voice, but she refused to provide identification and continued to argue, saying, “I’m not here to play games. You lower your voice right now or you go away in half.”

Arrest and Processing

Officers detained the passenger for disorderly intoxication, handcuffed her, and conducted a search. They also tried to contact her husband about her luggage. After processing, the passenger was transported to jail, with an estimated detention time of eight to twelve hours.

Charges and Bond

The passenger was formally charged with disorderly intoxication, and officers noted that disorderly conduct charges applied due to the breach of peace in the terminal. Her bond was set at $500, a figure that can double for out‑of‑town individuals under Florida law, as reflected in the officer’s comment, “You see, cuz you go here to jail in Florida. They double your bond and you don’t get out.”
