ORLANDO, FLORIDA: An intoxicated woman has been taken into custody for her alleged unruly behavior at the Orlando International Airport and declined to cooperate with the police officers who had to chase her. The woman has been identified as Chelsea Alston, who fled on a motorized suitcase as an officer chased her on a bicycle during the not-so-high-speed pursuit in the premises of the airport. The incident reportedly happened in April but its footage has been released now.
In the footage, the officer who followed the 32-year-old suspect said: “We're going to have a bike pursuing a suitcase in a minute.” As per reports, the chase began after the airport staff complained about the woman to the cops. According to them, she was intoxicated and creating a ruckus while waiting to take a flight from Orlando to New York.

When a cop approached Alston, she told him, “I don't want no beef. I'm just trying to go home and enjoy myself,” while carrying a beverage in a plastic cup. She also claimed that she had not drunk much while waiting for her flight that had been delayed because of bad weather. And, when Orlando Police Officer Andrew Mamone informed the woman that she could not board the flight back home, she began hurling abuses at him.
Alston yelled, “I'm not that intoxicated! Suck my d**k! Suck my d**k! All of you suck my d**k!” while sitting on her motorized suitcase. She also screamed, “F**k y'all,” before fleeing away. Mamone then said, “Oh man, that thing kind of goes fast,” as he went on to catch her on a bike. “We're about to have a bike pursuing a suitcase in a minute,” he jokingly added.
Mamone finally caught Alston and asked her to “follow me. Follow me! We'll roll out together.” But the woman did not seem to follow him. The cop then said, “'Chelsea, I'll race you! Let's just let's just roll our little wheels to the other side of TSA OK, because this is the secured area. I gotta have you on the other side - then I promise you I will leave you alone.”
Alston reportedly refused to follow the instruction after which the officer told her: “I'm a representative of the Orlando Police Bar and I have been nothing but polite and professional with you. Chelsea, if this continues, you will be arrested.” And, the woman was eventually taken into custody, who not just caused the disturbance at the airport but also thrashed the officer and caused damage to his patrol car, which was worth over $1,000, court records stated. It has been said that Alston could face up to five years behind bars if found guilty of each offense.
This news came as earlier in February a drunk man reportedly removed his pants inside a Ryanair flight bound to take off from Alicante airport to Dublin. The man was eventually removed from the flight before it took off. The identity of the man was not known but a woman who was apparently sitting near him reportedly told her husband about his antics. The passenger spoke with the Irish Mirror and said: “Nobody noticed anything when he got on, he didn't seem too bad but when he sat down he got up and took off his trousers. [My wife] said that he said to the woman beside him that he gets very hot on the plane, and then she said to me, 'I kind of copped then he was under the weather'. He had bottles on his lap, maybe four or five litres of spirits, and the stewardess asked to take them off him because she wanted to stow them up safely.”
The passenger added, “As [my wife] was saying from chatting with people afterwards, thank God they got him off because if he was like that now, what would he have been like in an hour's time into the flight. [The cabin crew] handled it extremely well, there was no big bust-up, there was no violence. It was three policemen who came on first, then there was another three, so I don't know whether they thought he was going to get rough or not.”
