A Los Angeles woman was greeted by police at Houston's Hobby Airport after getting in an argument with a flight attendant, Southwest Airlines confirmed Tuesday.
Jeanie Daniels was reportedly painting her fingernails on Flight 1536 on Feb. 26 when a flight attendant asked her to stop, the woman told KTRK-TV.
"I said, 'OK, I'm sorry, I apologize,' and I put it away. Then about 20 minutes into the flight, I discovered I only had two nails left to paint and if I went to the bathroom and did it, it wouldn't offend anyone," Daniels told the Houston television station.
Daniels said another flight attendant was waiting for her outside the bathroom, and that's when they began arguing.
"She was getting so loud, while I was sitting in my seat, and I was just like, 'Will you stop?' And I was loud when I said, 'Stop b----ing at me,' because she wouldn't end the conversation," Daniels told KTRK-TV.
On Tuesday, Southwest Airlines released a statement to NBC4, saying, "The customer in question was taken into custody upon arrival in Houston for behavior she displayed while onboard a flight from LAS-HOU on Feb 26.
"The airport police became involved because of the passenger's behavior and a verbal altercation with a Southwest Airlines crew member. Southwest Airlines is responsible for the safety of all of our passengers and employees."
