Once at the gate, police were pointed to a 32-year-old woman who had refused to deboard the plane after she was asked to. Police asked her what had happened.
“She advised the plane was delayed and she was asleep in her seat. She woke up and believed she had arrived at her destination, but was still in Dayton,” a Dayton Police incident report stated. “She stated she asked the flight attendant for a drink but was denied.”
The woman also said she missed her connecting flight and had to cancel her flight to her final destination.
Later, police learned that a passenger sitting next to the woman on the plane asked to be moved away from her due to her behavior, claiming she was intoxicated and that she refused to hang up the phone and put it on airplane mode while they were taxiing for takeoff, the report stated.
