SCHMACK! Airline Passenger Slaps Air Marshal

Guess Where She Landed?

Lilia Belkova has been cooling her heels in jail for more than a week now, after she slapped an Air Marshal on a US Airways Flight from Miami to Philadelphia last Wednesday.

Prosecutors say the 38-year old woman refused to sit down prior to departure and wouldn't turn off her cell phone. When the marshal asked her to hang up and sit down, prosecutors say Belkova slapped him, saying hanging up on her phone partner would have been "rude."

The slap caused a "minor swelling" on the deputy's face. Belkova was handcuffed and marched right off the plane before the flight resumed.

Belkova faces a bail hearing Thursday.
