New York woman who spat at passenger during American Airlines flight jailed

Passengers in first class were convicted of attacking AA.

A New York woman was sentenced to four months in prison and three years of supervised release for spitting on another passenger on an American Airlines flight last year.

Kelly and Leeza Rodriguez were travelling in first class and engaged in unruly and intimidating behavior.

Two people were on a flight from Dallas to Los Angeles when one of them used a racial slur.

When he tried to record the altercation, he is said to have spat at the man.

Two people were arrested after the plane made an emergency landing.

According to the Arizona US Attorney's Office, Pichardo was sentenced to prison and ordered to pay American Airlines $9,123.

Rodriguez is going to be sentenced.

There is a line between criminal activity and boorish behavior on an airplane, according to the United States Attorney.

While en route from Dallas-Fort Worth to Los Angeles, American Airlines flight 776 was diverted to Phoenix due to an altercation between two passengers.

The flight was met by local law enforcement who arrested two people for attacking other customers and flight crew.

The airline said that they had placed them on the refuse list pending further investigation.

The women were banned from future flights.
