Ma'am, sit down. Don't push me. SIT THE [ __ ] DOWN, YOU UGLY I DON'T WANT DON'T PULL MY HAIR. HEY, WATCH YOURSELF. FEBRUARY 11TH, 2024, Orlando police responded to a battery call at Orlando International Airport involving an aggressive passenger later identified as Jane Stevens, a retired US Army major. She punched me in the mouth and broke my tooth. Oh, you're the one who lost a tooth? >> Yeah. Aw, see? Aw. Nice tooth. No, not nice. Not nice, but she I don't know what happened in here. I'm not nice for her. Hey, I just got here. Jane Stevens lost a tooth, but here's the real question. Does being injured automatically make someone the victim? Or do we still need to ask what happened before that tooth hit the floor? She shouts at the kid on the plane, says some choice words, mom says >> Told? Okay. I dropped on it. Oh, wow. She hit me in the mouth. She go over here on that side, she shouts at the kid, says some choice not nice words, and mom, of course, pops up and says, "You don't like it, don't be around my kid." She Did she spit in your face? So, then my mom protected herself and punched her. This happened on the plane? Yeah. While they were boarding? While they were boarding. And this is the moment the story changes. Up until now, we've heard one version, Jane's version, a version where she's injured, emotional, and clearly wants to be seen as the victim. But, once the officer lays out the timeline, a different picture starts to form. So, here's the question. If Jane was truly the victim, why does every independent account tell the same opposite story? Why do witnesses, flight attendants, and now officers all describe her as the one who crossed the line first? And maybe the most uncomfortable question of all, was Jane explaining what happened or explaining what she wanted people to believe? So, just so you know, she's a retired major in the Army. So, you Since the attitude, that's why. You want to go over there with me and try to get her handled because this is I don't want She don't need to be drinking right now. This is where officers slow it down. She's emotional. She's injured, but she's not intoxicated. So, the real question is if alcohol isn't the reason, why doesn't her story add up? Until we finish interviewing all of this, we need her over there with us. Like I did something wrong. I just got here. I wouldn't have a chance to do anything. >> No, I know, but I'm saying you act like I did something wrong. I don't You don't deserve to act like this. Plus, I lost my [ __ ] $3,000, too. Okay? Is this their plan for the afternoon? Can I sit down? Yes, take a seat. Can you take a seat? I'm not sitting on a dirty ass wheelchair. I got you. I don't know who's dirty ass She is going berserk right now. She says she did nothing wrong, yet fights every instruction. So, the question is is she upset about the situation or upset about being told what to do? Flight boarding. Uh this lady behind us is trying to get through. The lady at the gate Okay. has She's already on the plane. Kids are in the aisle farting around whatever. This lady comes through and according to witness, kind of pushes her way through the kids, blah blah, yelling at the kids, get out of the way, get out of the way, pushing her way through. Uh After that, she sits down. Mom goes up to her and says, "Hey, I don't appreciate that. Next time you have a problem, you know, just ask and I'll get the kids out of the way." At that point, the other lady they start screaming back and forth. This lady behind us grabs the other lady's hair. The other lady says, "Oh, no, we're not doing this." and goes to town. Ultimately, So can see the Yeah, yeah. the resulting damage. Huh? She was Yeah, this is a primary. Does she want to press charges? Which one? The Mom? Mom wants to press charges. >> The victim. Yeah. Yes. Is she here? She's flying out. They're flying They're supposed to fly out. They're going to St. Louis. Plane's delayed. One of the flight attendants who got involved in breaking it up. Huh? Did she do a statement? Yes. This is where the timeline locks in and the decision gets made. Witnesses agree Jane pushed through the kids and grabbed hair first. Now it's not about who's upset. It's about who crossed the line. Okay, don't pull me. Sit down. Don't push me. Sit down. Oh, sit the [ __ ] down, you ugly [ __ ] Get off of me. Yeah, and get off of me. You're twisting my You're twisting my arm. Stop resisting. He's twisting my arm. I'm not resisting. THAT'S A LIE. I AM NOT RESISTING. THEY ARE PULLING ON ME. I'M NOT RESISTING. GET IT. GET [screaming] IT. GET ALL OF IT. I AM NOT RESISTING. You want to yell AT ME? I'M RESISTING. I'M NOT RESISTING. [screaming] I AM NOT RESISTING. I AM NOT [screaming] RESISTING. GET OFF OF ME. Lift your FEET UP. YOU'RE CUTTING MY HAND. >> feet up. >> my feet up now. DON'T PUSH ME. AND YOU'RE GETTING OFF ON THIS. DON'T PUSH ME. I can walk. I can walk. I can walk. Put your feet up now. You ain't nobody. Honey, you ain't going to be able to do [ __ ] Get off of me. Get off of me, dude. Yeah, honey, you can't do it. Maybe this guy can do it. Okay, tell her to get yeah get off of me. Okay, tell her to get yeah get off of me. You're hurting my hands. You're hurting my hands. YEAH, GET OFF. I WILL WALK. DON'T PULL MY HAND. WALK. I'M NOT WALKING. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. I'M WALKING. I CAN'T WALK LIKE THAT. NO, THIS RIGHT ARM. I am going to the ground. She's shaking me. This is the moment words stop matching actions. She keeps saying I'm not resisting. While physically doing exactly that. And in the eyes of the law resistance is measured by behavior, not volume. I know she needs timing. Feel me up. Get into my bed. Uh, you want an apple too? I said I worked in a jail for 20 years. This doesn't bother me. OH, MY TOE. I HAVE NEUROPATHY. OW. What's going on? I HAVE NEUROPATHY IN MY TOES. I have diabetes. I have diabetes, hey. My toe is numb. My toe is I'm peeing in my pants. I have neuropathy. I have diabetic neuropathy. I need my insulin. Can you calm down? No. Then that's that's your that's your decision. When you you have never had diabetic neuropathy, my toes are numb. I can barely stand. Bleeding a little bit. I'm diabetic. It's in the gloves. I'm diabetic. Please. Oh my god, you are such a You are so weak. You are so weak. God, I'm bleeding on my hand. Oh, God let me wipe it off. Did I tell you I have diabetes? I have seen you. I have seen you. I got to go. I have HIV. I'm telling you it's my job. I have HIV. Okay. I'm just telling you. Okay, thank you. That's great information. I don't I didn't I When you react when somebody pushes on your foot, that's what happens. This is where the excuses pile up. Military service, working with cops, medical issues all thrown out at once. But reality is simple. Past titles and health problems don't excuse present behavior. Officers can address medical needs, but they still have a job to do. Tell me what you're doing and I'll do it. >> Sit down on the truck bed. Okay, then get off of me and I'll sit down. You don't have to push me. I said I'll sit down. Don't push me. I'll sit down. You're under arrest. You're going to do it? Yeah, and I said I'll get up there. You don't need to push me. On the surface, this sounds cooperative, but listen closely. It only works on her terms. And in an arrest, cooperation with conditions isn't cooperation. It's resistance waiting for an opening. You don't need to push me. Cuz you haven't listened to anything that's been said. So please do it. All right. Okay, get off. You don't need to push me. You don't want to fall. Stay on the truck bed. I need to sit up here. Hey, watch yourself. Brown. And here's the moment everything changes. Kicking an officer isn't emotional frustration. It's a clear line, and she crossed it. From this point on, the arrest escalates for one reason, her actions. GO TO GROUND. IS THIS TRAINING? THIS MUST BE TRAINING. TRAINING. TRAINING. You can't hogtie me. That's illegal. When force is applied, the script almost always changes. Resistance turns into legal arguments, and suddenly everyone becomes a law professor. God damn >> [laughter] >> Look at this. Maybe you might want to find a new job. Doesn't look like it. >> You're terrible. I'm feeling lost. She's coming. >> You're going to body me, baby. I know, cuz thank god they're here, cuz you couldn't do [ __ ] Insults, mockery, and personal attacks don't slow arrests down. They usually do the opposite. And the situation is proving that point in real time. Do you guys have um Do you guys have um body cam on? Sure do. >> Good, thank god. Thank god. It's got you trying to kick her. Thank god. I hope it's all on. Thank god. >> Oh my god, I have to That's the chance ever. Insults, mockery, and personal attacks don't slow arrests down. They usually do the opposite. And the situation is proving that point IN REAL TIME. THAT WAS REALLY NECESSARY. GOD, I hope your your wife cheats on Jesus. She probably does. She just got out of school or something. You look like a child. You don't know what you're doing. It's so sad. This is where frustration turns personal. Jane stops arguing the situation and starts attacking people, their families, their appearance, their gender. And here's the uncomfortable truth. Once insults replace facts, the argument is already lost. Now you're going to stand up and walk. OH, MY BREAST. OW. MY BREAST. OW. >> [screaming] >> OW, YOU'RE HURTING MY WRIST. MY WRIST, MY WRIST, MY WRIST, MY WRIST, NO, MY WRIST. I CAN'T FEEL IT. MY WRIST, my wrist, I can't feel. Don't push me in the stomach. Complaints of pain are taken seriously and officers do check. But pain after resistance doesn't undo the resistance that caused it. WHY ARE YOU PUSHING ME in the stomach? You pushed my stomach. You my [ __ ] You pushed my stomach. What do you need? I CAN'T MY WRIST, I CAN'T FEEL MY WRIST. I CAN'T FEEL MY WRIST. I CAN'T FEEL IT. I CAN'T FEEL IT. NO, I CAN'T. YOU'RE CHOKING ME. YOU'RE CHOKING ME. YOU'RE CHOKING ME. WHY ARE YOU PULLING THE SEATBELT ON MY THROAT? YOU'RE CHOKING ME. YOU'RE PULLING ME. YOU'RE PULLING ON ME. PULL HER BACK. You don't know [ __ ] Shut the [ __ ] up. You don't know [ __ ] Wow, you know something. You don't know [ __ ] I can't feel my In the end this case came down to actions, not emotions. Jane Stevens was charged with multiple offenses including battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting officers with violence, resisting officers without violence, and battery for pulling another passenger's hair on the plane. The court sentenced her to two days in jail followed by three years of probation. She was also ordered to complete 75 hours of community service and write a formal apology letter to the arresting officers. While the charges were serious, they were ordered to run concurrently, meaning she served a total of two days in jail. This case is a clear reminder when verbal conflict turns physical, especially against law enforcement, the legal consequences escalate quickly regardless of background or intent.
