PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A Philadelphia woman was charged after she allegedly threatened to kill multiple passengers and exposed herself on a Frontier Airlines flight from Orlando to Philly, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said on Tuesday.

Dulce Huertas, 60, was charged with interference with flight crew members and attendants, simple assault and indecent exposure during a Frontier flight from Orlando to Philadelphia International Airport in November 2023.

Flight attendants served Huertas two alcoholic drinks on the flight, the criminal complaint alleges.

As the flight was about to land, a flight attendant said Huertas got out of her seat and said: “I have to pee,” but she was told she needed to remain seated.

Huertas then began yelling and cursing at the flight attendant and sat down, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

After the plane landed and moved toward the gate, Huertas allegedly began cursing at passengers around her. Flight attendants called security but Huertas’ behavior allegedly became more aggressive.
