An officer was dispatched to Terminal E, Portal 21 in reference to an intoxicated passenger. An ASD supervisor was on scene and witnessed the individual in question cursing at passengers, screaming, and grabbing her hair. The officer arrived on scene and met the suspect who was seated in a chair grabbing her hair. The officer began to ask the suspect a series of questions to which she was unable to produce answers. The suspect then advised she wanted a lawyer and would not answer any more questions.

The officer could smell the odor of alcohol coming off her person. The officer began to ask the ASD supervisor what the suspect had been doing, and he stated she was cursing at passengers, screaming, and grabbing her hair. The supervisor advised she was drinking little bottles of Vodka. The officer went back over to the suspect and asked her where here Vodka was, and she said it was probably in the trash.

Three more officers arrived on scene to assist. Due to the suspect’s high level of intoxication, her inability to answer simple investigative questions, and her not having a responsible party to release her too, officers were afraid if left alone, she would become a danger to herself or others. Due to the suspect being intoxicated in a public place, she was placed under arrest for Public Intoxication and escorted out to the curbside for transport.

The suspect resisted going outside and started dragging her feet to the point officers could not walk her anymore. The suspect was screaming obscenities with many passengers near by. The suspect kicked one officer in the leg, and he advised her not to kick him again. Another officer secured her legs and the officers carried her outside. As they were walking, the suspect attempted to bite an officer in the crotch, screaming, “Do you want me to bite your d***?”

The suspect refused to get inside the vehicle and fought with officers. Once they were able to secure the suspect inside the patrol vehicle, they placed a spit mask on her head. She spit through the mask and struck an officer in the side of his face. Once the suspect was inside the vehicle, officers attempted to put her in leg restraints. The suspect kicked an officer in the top of the head. The officer advised after the incident that he would be fine. Officers were unable to communicate with DFW Communications on mileage due to the suspect’s continual screaming while enroute to the jail. The suspect was beating her head against the Plexiglas at the beginning of the transport. Once they arrived at Station One Jail, the suspect had to be immediately taken into a cell, due to her not cooperating with the search prior to book-in.

Four officers responded to a possible intoxicated individual at Terminal D, lower level roadway, near entry D22. DFW dispatch advised the possible intoxicated individual was a white suspect with blond hair.

Upon arrival at the scene officers observed a white suspect matching the description. The suspect was sitting in the chairs adjacent to custom arrival exit doors inside entry D22. Officers asked the suspect where she was, and she stated she was in Dallas. Officers asked where she arrived from, and she stated Dallas. Officers informed the suspect she is at the airport and they asked her how she arrived here. She stated she flew from Dallas to Dallas. She further advised she arrived last night. Officers observed the suspect had a boarding pass for an American Airlines Flight from Rome, Italy to DFW Airport.

Officers asked the suspect to provide them with her driver’s license, but she stated she didn’t have it. Officers asked her again to provide them with a driver’s license or passport, so she started looking through an envelope containing receipts. Officers noticed the suspect was confused so they asked her what she was looking for, and she stated “it was tax free.”

Officers asked the suspect to stand up. She had a hard time standing up and was very unstable on her feet. While talking to the suspect, officers could smell an odor of an alcoholic beverage on and about her person. The suspect could not accurately answered the majority of questions she was asked. One officer asked her how much she had to drink, and she stated two wines. Another officer then asked the suspect how much she had to drink, and she stated one wine. Her speech was slurred and most of her words were hard to understand.

Due to the suspect being intoxicated to the point she did not know where she came from, could not accurately answer the majority of questions asked, could not provide her driver’s license, being very unstable on her feet and needing to be assisted while standing and walking it was the officers’ opinion she was a danger to herself or others if left alone. The suspect could have injured herself by walking into traffic, falling down or getting lost if left unattended. The suspect was placed under arrest for Public Intoxication.

The suspect was handcuffed and helped to the curbside for transport. The suspect was searched by officers and transported in a patrol unit to DFW DPS Jail for booking procedures. While in processing at DFW Airport Jail the suspect’s property was inventory and during the inventory officers discovered several prescribed medications with red labels cautioning alcohol mixture.
