Mum who had 'two pints' marched off Ryanair flight in Manchester by police after she became 'verbally aggressive'
A mum had to be escorted off a Ryanair flight by police after passengers complained she was being too loud and 'verbally aggressive'. Lyndsey Fitzsimmons became 'irate' after being approached about her behaviour on the flight from Lanzarote to Manchester Airport, Minshull Street Crown Court heard on Tuesday .
The court heard six police officers boarded the flight as it landed, and officers could smell alcohol on Fitzsimmons' breath, while her speech was slurred. Mr Berlyne added: "She was told she was under arrest and as she was getting in the police van she stumbled and fell on her knees." He said: "This is not a deliberate consumption of alcohol or anything of that nature - drinking duty free on board or anything like that." Mr Wood said his client took diazepam as she 'genuinely does not like flying', while she also suffers from anxiety and mental health issues in general.
He said: "This is an unusual case in that there are no statements from either the flight crew or fellow passengers as to what was going on. All that I've been provided with is the statement from officer PC Green who gathered information from people and who reports back.
