Anne McCarroll should be spared jail due to personal difficulties, defence counsel says
A social worker whose drunken behaviour on a flight to Turkey was so bad the pilot was forced to call an emergency, was handed a four month jail sentence on Tuesday.
He added: “It is not unfortunately uncommon for passengers to take excessive amounts of alcohol and to then be disruptive on a flight but this behaviour takes it to a whole new level.” Despite that McCarroll was seen drinking more alcohol and was again abusive to the cabin manager, calling her a “f****** s***”, said the lawyer adding that she was also “openly using a vape”.
The lawyer described how McCarroll “punched a crew member to the throat” and then went to the galley area at the rear of the plane where she assaulted two other members of the cabin crew. The lawyer added that another person is facing Crown Court trial for “serious” alleged offences which have impacted on his client’s life.
