Talkin' That Trash

Gets Woman Arrested At Florida Airport

And now the award for Miss Congeniality...

Jayne Thorne, a 43-year old resident of Long Beach (NY), won't be flying Delta Song anymore -- not after the way the airline says she behaved at Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport (FL) earlier this month. And it all has to do with her little dog, Cutie.

Authorities say Ms. Thorne just couldn't leave little Cutie in its carrier. She reportedly kept taking the dog out while Flight 2551 was in the air, in spite of regulations that clearly said Cutie had to stay caged.

Eventually, flight attendants moved Ms. Thorne to the front of the cabin while Cutie, alas, was left alone in the carrier near her original seat. Ms. Thorne didn't like that, according to the airline, so she became abusive, assailing the flight crew with what the captain called a "potty mouth."

Ms. Thorne, apparently the last person in America to learn that you don't win an argument with the crew of an aircraft in flight, was met at the gate in Fort Lauderdale by local police. An airline employee told her she wouldn't be welcome on board Song for her return flight to New York.

Ms. Thorne's reaction was reportedly in line with what you'd now come to expect. She yelled at the employee, using what police say is language that would have made a sailor blush. She refused to lower her voice, in spite of the presence of small children in the gate area.

So police tried to handcuff her. They say she reacted by trying to kick deputies. She was hustled to a waiting patrol car, where she kicked the rear window so hard that officers say she cracked it. Ms. Thorne and Cutie spent the night behind bars -- Cutie at the animal shelter, its owner in the local calaboose. Both were released the next day, ensuring that Ms. Thorne will be available for her appointment as leader of the Friends of Delta Song fan club.
