Woman attacks crew on US Airways flight

CHARLOTTE, N.C.

Police said Peggy S. Albedhady-Sanchez, 50, was apparently intoxicated. She kicked and spit on a flight attendant who refused to serve her alcohol, according to an arrest report.

Albedhady-Sanchez reportedly also slapped another crew member who tried to intervene.

The passenger was wrestled to the floor by an off-duty deputy. She was charged with three counts of battery and one count of interfering with an aircraft.

The incident happened Tuesday afternoon, just hours after passengers aboard a JetBlue flight from New York to Las Vegas wrestled down the plane's agitated pilot.
