Just so you know, she's a retired major in the army. >> Sit the [ __ ] down, you ugly [ __ ] Get off of me. >> I don't want DON'T PULL MY HAIR. >> HEY, WATCH YOURSELF. >> SHE PUNCHED ME IN THE MOUTH AND broke my tooth. >> Oh, you're the one who lost a tooth? >> Yeah. >> Aw, I'm sorry. Aw. Nice. No, not nice. Not Not even my teeth. >> And then here, turn the knife for her. >> Hey, I just got here. Ooh, God.

That's I'm holding it for him. >> Yeah. >> No, she knocked my tooth out. It's not alcohol-related, but okay. We're waiting for our flight. >> Do you want to hang out Can you hang out over here? >> Yes, you know what? Being a victim I'm a mental health survivor. >> She assaulted a kid on the plane. She said some choice words. My kid >> Okay. >> I drove my kid two miles to get over here on that side. She shouted She said some choice not nice words, and mom, of course, put up with this. Yeah, that's like the only way to get her on my kid. She assaulted her and my mom put her in a headlock. >> Is this happening on the plane? >> Yeah. While they're boarding. >> While they're boarding. >> So, just so you know, she's a retired major in the army. So, if you sense the attitude, that's why. >> Do 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. >> So, you feel you finished and that's the end of all of this? Or do we need her over there with us. So until this is done, sorry. >> But you can't take your picture. >> No, I'll finish it right here and we'll go. >> Let's go. Ma'am, can we not be drinking right now? Let's go. Come on. Let's go. Come on. I'm going with you. Let's go. >> I got to do something wrong. >> I just got here. I wouldn't have a chance to do >> No, I know, but I'm saying you act like I did something wrong. >> I've worked in a county jail for 22 years. You know what? I don't deserve the treatment I get. Now you're pissing me off trying to control me. I mean I'm Yes, I lost MY [ __ ] $3,000, TOO, OKAY? NO, I think you should get off my That's what I think. >> Ma'am. Can you sit down? Can you just sit Can you just hang out? I'm not talking to you. I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to her. I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to her. You can sit here. Sit down. This is ridiculous. Is this their fun for the afternoon? Can I sit down? Yes, take a seat. Can you take a seat? That's your choice, ma'am. You need to sit. You need to sit. And this is how I get treated. She is going to deserve it. Not a wheelchair. >> Flight boarding. Uh this lady behind us is trying to get through. The lady at the gate has She's already on the plane. kids are in the aisle farting around or 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. After that, she's sitting down, the 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, Do you see the >> Yeah, yeah. >> the resulting damage. >> Huh? >> She want to press charges? >> No, this is a primary. >> Does she want to press charges? >> Which one? >> The >> Mom? Mom wants to press charges? >> The victim. >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> What has she done? She's flying out. They're fly They're supposed to fly out. We're going to St. Louis. The plane's delayed. One of the flight attendants who got involved in breaking it up. Huh? >> She gave a statement? >> Yes. Yeah, and we got a statement from the witness. >> So, they're She's going to definitely freak out. >> Oh, I'm sure. >> We want to separate them two because she's going to fight us and he's freaking out too. They're both drunk. >> Oh, yeah. >> So, >> Yeah. >> at this point we're good to go. So, let's let's separate them. >> I'll talk to him and let him know what's going on and have him wait and then you guys can handle the rest. >> All right. >> This is the moment investigators begin putting the pieces together instead of relying on just one person's version of events. Officers have a witness statement, a flight attendant statement, and an alleged physical injury, the missing tooth. Most importantly, the accounts are being compared to determine what happened before police arrived. According to the officer's summary, the confrontation began when the woman allegedly pushed her way past the children and yelled at them followed by an argument with their mother. The officer then says the woman grabbed the mother's hair, after which the mother struck her. That distinction matters because self-defense questions often depend on who initiated the physical confrontation and whether the response was reasonably connected to the threat. Based on this transcript alone, we should be careful not to assume every detail was proven exactly as described, but investigators clearly believed there was enough evidence to move forward. >> Hi. >> Stop. Stop. >> Hi, can you grab my wallet? >> [music] >> Hold on. Hey, don't pull me. >> Don't resist. >> Don't Don't try to make a scene. >> Don't pull me. I'm telling you, don't pull me. Don't Get this on video, everyone. Don't touch me. >> Get off my foot and sit down. >> Okay, don't pull me. >> Sit down. >> Don't push me. Oh, sit the [ __ ] down, you ugly [ __ ] Get off of me. Yeah, and get off of me. You're twisting >> my >> You don't want to resist. >> Why don't you get this on video? >> Stop resisting. >> He's twisting my wrist. >> Ma'am. >> I'm not resisting. THAT'S A LIE. I AM NOT RESISTING. THEY ARE PULLING ON ME. I'M NOT RESISTING. GET IT. GET 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 RESISTING. GET ALL OF ME. >> Lift your FEET UP. >> YOU'RE CUTTING my hands. >> Lift your feet up. >> They're cutting my feet up now. DON'T PUSH ME. AND YOU'RE GETTING OFF ON THIS. DON'T PUSH ME. >> [laughter] >> And now the situation changes completely. Up to this point, officers were investigating what happened on the airplane and trying to keep the two women separated. But once Jane is told that she is under arrest, the focus shifts to her interaction with law enforcement. She repeatedly says she is not resisting, while officers repeatedly tell her to stop pulling, stop pushing, and stop resisting. That disagreement is important because what a suspect believes they are doing and what officers perceive physically can be two very different things during a chaotic arrest. The body camera footage becomes especially significant here because it can preserve the movements, commands, and sequence of events rather than relying entirely on competing memories afterward. Watching this section, ask yourself, at what point does protesting an arrest become physical resistance? >> I CAN MOVE MY HAND IF I WANT. DON'T TELL ME TO STOP. YOU'RE WARNING ME. THEY'RE PULLING MY BODY. >> Put your feet up. >> feet up. >> 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 [laughter] Sit up for 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. I SAID, "GET OFF. I WILL WALK. DON'T PULL MY HAND." >> WALK. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I'M WALKING. I CAN DO IT. YOU GOT IT? Can you do it? She is tiny. Okay, you cannot pull on my arm like that. I can't walk like that. I can't walk like that. No, THIS IS MY ARM. >> You're going to hit me. You're going to the ground in 2 seconds. >> Yeah, why are you being so hard? I'm not. I'm walking. You're lying. You're lying. You're lying. I'm so light. You're lying. >> [clears throat] >> You're lying. >> Ma'am, what are you trying to accomplish by behaving like this? >> know what you're trying to get your car or something. I don't know. Cuz I'm walking perfectly normal. >> You're You're You're not. >> I am. You're lying. I am. >> You're not accomplishing anything. >> Neither are you. Not in life or anything. I know it's hard. >> I'm already old. >> It's hard. So am I. I'm [ __ ] retired. No military. >> This arrest is becoming increasingly difficult for everyone involved. Jane continues arguing with officers, insisting that she can walk normally and that she is being pulled or handled unnecessarily. Officers, meanwhile, are trying to physically control her while repeatedly giving instructions. Her statements about being retired military and having worked in a county jail for 22 years also become part of the conversation, but those credentials don't change the basic reality of an arrest. Knowing how law enforcement works does not give someone special permission to ignore commands during a lawful detention or arrest. At the same time, the officers still have to use appropriate force and respond to the actual behavior in front of them. That's why the body camera footage matters so much. Do you think her experience should have helped her understand the situation or did the emotional intensity simply make things worse? >> Oh my god. Has she got a pat down before? Don't touch my [ __ ] It's wet cuz you got like piss all over me. She's never done this before. She's never done this before. Clearly. No, I got so much [ __ ] on my dick. You're not finding it. >> Why are you behaving like this? What do you think you're going to accomplish? I said I wanted to sit over here and you wanted me to go over there. I'm done. I'm done. Okay. We have a job to do. >> Dude, dude, I work with the cops all day every day. I know that. >> But you're acting like you're acting like this isn't going to help anything. >> I'm not acting like anything. >> You are. >> I'm not. You want me to turn to you? Oh, touch me. I'm >> Get it. >> You're right. This is what I'm talking about. >> Because it's ridiculous that the victim is going through this. I know she needs training. Feel me up. Get into my butt. Oh, you want to hold too? I said I worked in the jail for 22 years. This doesn't bother me. Oh my god. MY TOE. >> MY TOE, I HAVE NEUROPATHY. OW. >> I need you to CALM DOWN. >> I HAVE NEUROPATHY IN MY TOES. I have diabetes. I have diabetes. >> I'll get >> My toes numb. My toes 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 have you ever had diabetic neuropathy, my toes are numb. I can barely stand. >> Bleeding a little bit. >> I'm diabetic. >> It's in the glove. >> I'm diabetic. >> Please, bring me >> Oh my god, you are such a You are so weird. You are so weird. Oh my god, I'm bleeding on my hand. Oh god, let me wipe it off. I told you I have HIV. I have HIV. I have HIV. I got I I have HIV. I'm telling you, it's my children's job. I have HIV. >> Okay. >> I'm just telling you. >> Okay, thank you. That's greatly appreciated. >> I don't I didn't I When you react when somebody pushes on your foot, that's what happens. >> Yeah. >> 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 going to do it? >> Yeah, and I said I'll get up there. You don't need to push me. >> You don't need to >> You don't need to push >> Cuz you haven't listened to anything that's been said. So, please do it. >> There you go. >> 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. WATCH YOUR NO. GROUND. >> Get the right palm. >> Right hand. That's it. >> Try her up. >> Ground. >> That's it. >> GO TO THE GROUND. >> IS THIS TRAINING? THIS MUST BE TRAINING. TRAINING. TRAINING. You can't hog-tie me. That's illegal. >> Now we're seeing another major complication. Jane repeatedly tells officers that she has diabetes, diabetic neuropathy, numbness in her toes, and that she needs insulin. She also claims she is having difficulty standing, and later makes additional medical claims. These statements cannot simply be ignored during an arrest, because a person's medical condition can affect how they move, stand, or respond to physical restraint. At the same time, officers are still dealing with an active and highly confrontational arrest. The key question is whether her physical complaints were genuine medical limitations, whether they affected her ability to comply, and how officers responded to those claims. The transcript alone doesn't give us enough medical evidence to answer that definitively. But, it does show why this encounter became much more complicated than a simple airport battery investigation. >> What the Come on. >> Yeah. >> Look at this. Maybe you want Maybe you want to find a new job. >> Doesn't look like it. >> You're terrible. That feeling lost. That's just a >> You're going to bother me, baby. >> I know cuz thank god they're here cuz you couldn't do [ __ ] You guys have um 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. >> It is. >> Oh my god. I have >> That's THE TRUEST EVER. >> OW! [screaming] >> THAT WAS TRULY NECESSARY. GOD, I hope your your wife cheats on Jesus. She probably does. She sure does. I'm sure you're a batterer. You look like one. >> You got her You tried kicking me. >> No, you don't You know what? Enjoy yourselves. Enjoy yourselves. >> Watch out while you do that. >> And enjoy yourselves. >> Yep. >> Enjoy. Enjoy. Enjoy. >> You're not saying anything now. >> I feel safe now. >> I'm trying to work. This is kind of an emergency, please. >> Thank you. >> You just got out of school or something? You look like a child. You don't know what you're doing. It's so sad. Yeah, you are as far as a chick goes, you are not strong at all. At all. You're not. You need to work out some more. Go to the gym, girl. You have it? Taste that ass. Get out. You're fat. And you're ugly. Girl, you are so weak. I swear to god. Get some muscles. Do you go to the gym at all? I don't think you go to the gym much. You're so weak. It must be embarrassing. You don't know what you're doing. >> After nearly 20 minutes of escalating confrontation, the situation finally reaches its end point. Officers describe Jane as having fought them, resisted, and potentially spit at them, leading them to discuss using a mask for safety. Whatever viewers think about the original airplane confrontation, the arrest itself created a separate set of allegations. According to the final account, police charged her with battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting officers with violence, battery related to pulling the woman's hair on the plane, assault on a law enforcement officer, and resisting officers without violence. That's a long list of allegations from one airport incident. The important takeaway is that an encounter can expand dramatically when conduct continues after officers arrive. What started with a dispute between passengers ultimately became a multi-charge criminal case. >> MY WRIST. OW. MY WRIST. OW. >> [screaming] >> OW. YOU'RE HURTING MY WRIST. OW. >> [screaming] >> OW. OW. 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 punch me in the stomach. Why are you punching ME IN THE STOMACH?

You're clear as it. >> Right here? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> She's got a battery alien. All right. >> ARM! MY ARM! >> ACTUALLY >> SHOULD I LEAVE THESE ON? >> NO, LEAVE THEM ON IN case she goes crazy. >> Well, pretty much she's going to keep trying to kick the batteries on the person that >> And resistant >> She's resistant. >> And she is She has been charged. >> She's spitting. She's She fought us. >> You start right here? >> She's going to spit, too. >> Yes, just put >> Do you want to get a mask or something? She's going to She's going to spit. >> So, let's put the entire case together. According to the footage, the confrontation began on an airplane after Jane Stevens allegedly pushed a child while trying to move through the cabin, then argued with the child's mother, and allegedly pulled her hair. The mother responded by punching Jane in the mouth, reportedly knocking out a tooth. Officers then investigated the incident, separated the parties, and ultimately arrested Jane after her interaction with police escalated into repeated physical resistance and confrontation. The final outcome was significant. The footage states that she received 2 days in jail and 3 years of probation for battery on a law enforcement officer, another 2 days and 3 years of probation for resisting with violence, and an additional 2 days with 1 year of probation for battery. The sentences were concurrent, meaning the total stated punishment was 2 days in jail and 3 years of probation, along with 75 hours of community service, and an apology letter to the arresting officers. This case is a reminder that an initial dispute can become far more serious when the situation continues to escalate after police arrive.
