The suspect continues to vent his frustration, but the officers managed to settle him enough before speaking with the airline staff for their version of events. >> What's What's your name? I don't know what to call you. What's your name? >> Uh, my name is Bryce, but I go by I I go by Brooks. >> Brooks? Okay. So, Brooks, here's the deal. United Well, we'll shake hands when everything's said. >> No, I I didn't know if you were trying to or not. >> Oh, no. So, United has denied you a flight today. >> Yeah, I didn't. >> Okay. >> I don't care. >> Well, here's the deal. Um, he said you're flying to Maine. What What part of Maine are you flying to? >> I live I live in Oldtown. I live in northern Maine. >> Are y'all Are y'all refunding his ticket? >> He never pay for He never pay. >> Oh, he never he never had a ticket. He was getting ready. >> He start he started off with this young lady back here. Um, he was upset with her because she kept telling he doesn't have a flight for today. So, he gives her her phone, his phone. She pulls up the reservation. Reservation is for the 28th. So, as she's telling him that, he's like, "No, you're going to put me on plane today." So, she calls me and say, "I think I got a red light." So, she comes over and then when I walk over there, then he goes, "I'm not a red light. I'm not intoxicated. Why would you say that?" >> Oh, you know what that was? >> I'm like, "Yeah." I'm like, "How do you know?" I'm like, "How do you know what a red light is?" >> We didn't even know what a red light was. We're like, "What? What?" >> So, that's what it kind of was like, "Okay." [laughter] So, you know what you are then, right? That's what I thought to myself. So, then I said, "Well, how do you know what a red light is?" And he's like, "I don't talk to her. She just needs to go away." I said, Go ahead over there. Ring. I got it. So I started talking to him and then I asked him for she was ask was asking you for the reservation and he kept saying I don't have it. I'm like so you just showed her something on your phone. That's how she knows what day. So he gives me the phone and then I pull up the reservation. So I explained to him like your flight was two days ago and he was like showed up for that flight and got denied. >> He says no value. So that means he didn't show up. [clears throat] When we mark it no value that means he didn't show up. Okay. >> So when I said to him well you know now you're going to have to buy a whole new ticket cuz you're two days late. It's not a flat tire rule anymore. >> With officers now understanding the situation, airline staff walked them through exactly where things began to spiral out of control. >> So then he was like, "Well, my company will have to pay for it. How much is it?" And I said, "I don't know." So I went online to pull it up and then he started going at her again. She's such d. Okay, at this point you disrespected my employees. You can take your phone and you can buy it online. Have a great day. He walked on the side of my counter and started saying, "You going to make me hurt you. Hurt you, huh?" >> I'm like, >> "Oh, no. I ain't dealing with this, bro." >> So, I said, "Sir, I'm going to call the police. I'm asking you to please walk away from my counter at this time. I'm refusing service. Please walk away." He continued to keep going. So, I picked up the phone and I called and then he continued with his little rant. Gotcha. And then he started coming around the counter again and I said, "Sir, I asked you three times to stay on that side. I want you to know that I'm not scared, but I need you to stay on that side." >> And then he was looking and the the guy that was standing next to him was like, "What is going on? What's happening?" And then you guys showed up after he showed up. It was kind of in his face a little bit, too. So, I just going to get out of here and we >> we'll deal with it. After hearing matching accounts from several witnesses, the officers now piece everything together and return to the suspect to lay out the next steps. >> No, making threats of physical violence towards other people is a crime, right? And you can go to jail for that. >> I understand. >> They're not wanting to press charges right now, >> but you've actually committed a crime that you could go to jail for. >> No, no. What I'm saying is, >> you know, you need to listen. >> No, no. Like, I I understand. I'm listening to what you're saying, you know, but the fact I made >> I left everybody alone. You you I don't know their names, >> but they had said not bother. I don't bother anybody. >> All I can tell you is what they told me and I have multiple people telling me the same thing. So right now we're trying to figure things out for you. But at at this point with you being in talk listen just listen. >> You're not going to fly with any airline today the way you are right now. I can guarantee you that. That's based on my experience. >> You've threatened people and you've had too much to drink. My recommendation truly is to try to catch a flight tomorrow. Have no drinks. Come back sober tomorrow and try it all again. and then you're gonna get home. But I guarantee you the way you've acted today, no [clears throat] airline's gonna let your phone. >> That's just the reality. >> What's your name? >> Pat Nelson right here. >> Just so I can address you. >> Okay, I appreciate that. Your [clears throat] your mom is coming to get you. >> Perfect. That's your mom's coming to get you. She's on her way. So, what we're going to do is we're going to take you downstairs. Let's sit in the chair. She's she's going to when she picks you up, she's going to find other flights and have you fly out. She told me about the tragedy about losing your dog. You guys are both but the the important thing right now is just to get you where you're not stumbling around or you know we get you where you can pass the TSA checklist because they're more strenuous on checking people than the ticket counter is here. Okay. So your mom agreed that's the best decision to make. Officers explain what happens next. And while the suspect reluctantly agrees, he takes the moment to vent his frustrations one last time. >> What did y'all talk about? >> Just talked about solutions for you. And the solution we came up with is her coming from Round Rock and come pick you up right now. That's what she's going to do. >> Okay. So, let's go downstairs and bring your stuff downstairs. >> I'll grab her back. >> And once she picks you up, you guys go back to her house and you meet with me. I'm over here. Oh, she picks you up. >> Once she picks you up, you guys are going to find other flights. Okay, we'll get you she'll get you booked another flight >> over there. I thought it was all of you. >> I hate all of you. >> You hate all of us? >> Well, I mean, I love all of y'all, but I hate all of you. >> Well, sorry. Sorry you feel that way, but we're just trying to help you out, man. >> Except for you. >> All right. Well, I appreciate it. Let's make our way downstairs and I'll grab your bag for you and we'll get you taken care of, your mom here, all that good stuff. And you get on a flight a different day. Just not today. And that might be for the best. It sounds like you've gone through a lot, >> right? >> This is his Those are the unattended bags. >> So, if you want to follow Officer Kid, we'll head downstairs. I'll grab your bag for you. Okay. >> Officer Kid right there. >> Just follow him. We'll show you the way. >> You ruin my life. What caused this? >> Sorry. >> What causes? >> Well, if you want to be completely honest, what caused this? Is you drinking? Who who who said I was drinking? >> No one had to tell us you were drinking. I can tell you were drinking. >> Well, this way. >> What What do you mean by that? >> I'm I'm not going to debate your level of intoxication. If you want me to debate it with you, you can debate it in the back of my police car. For now, I'm cutting you a break. >> No, I just I just want to talk. >> I'm not going to You know that you're drunk. I don't have to explain to you. I'm sure they have. You're stumbling around. Your words are slurred. >> Can't think that's not and and I'm not trying to talk down to you. I'm trying to help you. Actually, grab onto the rail so you don't fall. You lose your balance. >> Even after officers try to help resolve the situation. The suspect continues disrespecting them, forcing officers to finally draw the line. >> What I'm asking is what what led you to think what led me to Hey, here are your choices. Here are your choices. Hear me out. >> Do you want to sit in the chair over here or do you want to sit outside? Choices are yours. >> Stop treating me like a mother criminal. >> If you talk to me like that again, I will take your jail. Listen to what I'm telling you. >> Take me in jail. I don't >> Okay, I don't care either. >> Put your hands out your pocket pocket. >> We gave you plenty of chances, dude. I literally waiting for waiting for my >> I know. But we were asking you to listen. Okay. >> No, no, no, no, no, no. >> Now you're going to jail. >> Making you upset. >> Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath. >> Making me upset. All I wanted to do was just stand here. >> Listen to me. Listen to me. >> I didn't use sign language to you at all. Did I? >> No. I spoke to your mother. I found a way for you to go home safe. I understand that you lost your dog. Okay? I sympathize with you on that. We're trying to cut you a break. The last thing I need from you is to use foul language towards me when I'm trying to help you out. You listen. Look at me. Look at me. Do you understand what I'm telling you right now? >> Yes, sir. >> Then why would you do that to me? >> That's not personal at all. >> I don't know if it's personal or not. >> I just >> You're responsible for everything you say and do. >> Yes. Yes, sir. >> And I understand. I'm just taking some consequences for it. I just I don't know how to feel. I was supposed to fly out to my house. >> You're taking out on everyone, including the people at the ticket counter. Like I said, you could have gone to jail for just what you said up there. >> I understand. >> You have an idea on you? Where's your idea? >> I don't know. >> Okay. >> If you put me in the jail, I'm going to be pretty mad. >> Think I care about how mad you're going to get? Been doing this job 21 years. Made a lot of people mad. Officers switched to a stricter tone, but instead of calming things down, it only adds fuel to the suspect's emotions. >> Listen, here's here's what I'm going to do with you. I'm going to take you to a sobering center. It's not jail. >> You'll go to the sobering center. Your mom can pick you up from the sobering center. Okay? >> Don't do that to my mom, please. >> Okay? Well, I can take you to jail. She can pick you up from jail. Which one do you want? >> Why not stay? You're not staying here anymore. >> I don't need to stay here. >> Okay. >> Could you ever see an ID with this? >> No. He gave me a name. He told me uh Bryce Lee Smith. >> Yes, sir. >> Yeah. >> No. >> No, you're not. >> Yeah. >> You're coming with us. Let's Let me explain.

I'm trying to be nothing but nice to you. >> What? What? What? What exactly are you saying? I was going to call your mother at the sobering center, give her the address, and have her pick you up from there. >> That's what I was going to do for you, >> okay? >> Can you just calm down, >> okay? >> That's what I want you to do.

I'll take you to the sobering center. It's not jail. >> The what? >> The sobering center. >> Okay. >> Okay, that's it. When we get there, I'll call your mom, tell her the address, she'll pick you up from there. >> Is that okay? >> But you have to cooperate with them. If you act the way that you're acting with us, they will not take you there. >> Yeah. Just I'm just confused because >> in a last attempt to keep things from escalating further, officers offer him one final chance. Now the decision rests with him >> because I I drinking, man. It's >> No, it's not that I've been drinking. It's just I I'm confused on where where where am I going? >> Okay. I was going to leave you here. But this I was going to leave you here. You cursed at me. I didn't like that. So I said, "Okay, I'm not going to leave you here. If you're cursing at me, you can curse at anybody else in here. I'm going to take you someplace else off site. Now, depending on how you act, when I'm transporting you to that place, if you start cursing at me again or acting bizarre in the backseat of my car, I'm going to take you to jail. And there they're going to keep you for anywhere between 8 to 12 hours. Sobering center, they'll keep you till your mom comes to pick you up. That's it.

This way. >> And then kind of just sit down and we'll make sure you you don't fall. Okay. >> Take these handcuffs off of me. >> We can't >> swing your feet in. You can >> you'll get him off when you get to the sobering center. >> You're not a criminal. >> Why are you saying that? >> That's why we want to take you to the sobering center. >> You're a medical professional taking care of you. >> That's it. It's not fair. >> Okay. Then why do I need to be like this? >> Cuz everybody goes in the backseat of a patrol car like that. Okay. That's our policies. We have to do this. >> Officers offer him more than enough chances to leave without further trouble. But he still makes the wrong call. Why are you doing this? >> Why? Watch your back. >> No. Please loosen me. >> No, they get loosened this side. >> They're cutting into my >> They're not cutting into your wrist. >> Guess the I'm not I'm not take I'm not loosening them.

It gets turned in. >> No, it doesn't. >> Okay. >> In the end, the suspect was charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct. Number one, airport officers weren't ready for this Karen's meltdown. On January 31st, 2024, officers responded to Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport after reports of a fight involving multiple passengers. Here's what happened when officers arrived. >> And she just attacked the lady in line. >> Who did this lady to your left? >> Hey, ma'am. Come with me. >> Come with me. Give me your hands. Stop resisting. >> Hey, uh, find out who it was. >> Come on over. >> She just came in the line and knocked her over. >> Stop it. >> We're just going TO STEP OUT. FIRST OF ALL, YOU NEED A MEDICAL ATTENTION. >> NO, I'M OKAY. >> SORRY. Are you all right? >> Mhm. >> So, what happened? >> She was just walking around pointing at me. >> I know. That's what I'm trying to >> Yeah. Just standing in line, minding my business. She keeps walking around pointing at me and saying you and comes up and just shoves me and smacks me. >> All right. Um, I'm going to ask you a very stupid question. I'm required by law to ask you this. Did you consent to her pushing? >> No. >> Okay. It's a legal question that I'm required to ask. And you said that you do not need any medical attention? >> No. >> Did the shove cause anything? >> I was facing this way. Keep it from behind. >> She shoved. And did she hit you or just >> straight on push me? Yeah. Smack me. >> Where did she smack you? >> Just just in the arm. >> Yeah. I was looking at >> uh was it open hand? >> Do you have your ID on you? >> Yeah. >> The victim tells officers she was minding her own business when the suspect suddenly attacked her. And when officers ask the suspect why, her answer leaves everyone stunned. All right. All right. We're not going to do that. >> We We got squad coming up right now. Stand up. H. Someone want to pat her down real quick. Make sure you do it right. >> So, what happened? >> Activist. >> You're an activist. That gives you a right to punch someone. >> Can you uh spread your feet for me? >> I can't hear you. >> Spread your feet. All right. You're going to have a seat in the squad, man. Step in. It's funny. >> She tells officers she targeted the victim because she's an activist, but witness statements soon reveal her behavior went far beyond that. >> Anyone want to be a willing complaintant and witness? >> Yeah, it just helps having extra witness statements of what happened. Can we do it from here? >> I'll tell you lastly what happened. Come here. >> My name's Robert. >> I'm not coming back. So >> ID at all. It's easier to copy down cuz otherwise I'll stand here for 20 minutes saying what was it? What was that? >> Stupid. Oh my. >> This is why I have this. >> Where did she come from though? >> Yeah. I thought she was trying to start. Hey, you. Hey, you. Turn around. Turn around. >> I thought she was just >> What I saw, officer, was this young lady in the in the blue sweatshirt. >> All right. >> Had like she was calling to someone like she knew them, trying to get their attention. So, we thought she was going to go there. I thought she was going to go get in line with them. >> Okay. >> No big deal. Came right through there. went under the the whatever the stupid thing called >> one of the Sansson. >> No, she passed right here. >> Okay. >> And and I thought she was walking talk to them cuz she was trying to get their attention what it sound like to me. I'm standing here. Next thing I know, she attacked them. >> She pointing a finger at her. She was like, "Turn around finger." And so >> she was trying to get someone that thought someone she knew's attention. And then she goes, "Hey, stupid." >> Yeah. Where'd that come from? I was going >> and then >> went right over kind of tripped on that >> tried to suitcase and all got crazy >> bag or something. >> All right. >> And then and then and then she separated and got them apart. She came over. I worked I worked at the Department of Defense and security d and wonder up front and acting really crazy. >> All right. Well, thank you very much. With everything pieced together, officers speak with the victim one last time to clarify details and explain how the case will proceed. >> All right, Summer. Do you think there's anything uh happened that I didn't ask you about? >> That was it. >> Just going to run you through it just one last time. I promise. >> Sure. >> All right. So, you're standing in line, minding your own business. >> She just starts pointing at you >> and then where were you in line? >> I was like right there. right where you are. >> So, she went past everybody that else was in line. Oh, >> okay. >> And then >> I mean, we're going to see on on the footage because there's camera there. >> But she like walked away for a while. She like walked around. >> I don't know why. >> I I can't answer that question. Sometimes some sometimes people just Unfortunately, I wish I had answers. I wish there was a better system than this, but unfortunately, this is what we have right now. So, she you're standing right there. She comes up, shoves you from behind, and just says, "You and then she like she just walked away or >> Yeah. Well, they kind of like got her like off of me and then she >> I think she walked that way, I think, and sit over there for a little bit until you guys >> and then kept like saying something and I didn't really hear what she said. And then you guys came in shortly after. >> Oh, do you have any questions for that? >> I don't think so. >> Uh, normally if I had my squad, I would have like a form for you. It's called a uh Wisconsin victim's uh rights. >> Sure. >> You uh this goes to court. You get something that's known as a victim witness advocate. Someone you can talk to help explain the whole process. Um what's going to happen probably is that you're going to get a phone call next couple days from uh a district attorney's office. He'll talk to you, ask you some questions. Then you don't really have to do anything or show up until way down. >> Sure. >> With all the pieces in place, the officers escort the suspect to the cruiser outside. Surprisingly, she shows no reaction to the consequences ahead. There's going to be like a time like you're going to forget that it's kind of happened. Well, probably won't, but like it'll be it'll be it'll be so long that you're going to be like, "Oh, that that unfortunately that's how slow everything is." >> That's fine. >> So, like like I said, they'll they'll contact you and then the victim victim advocate will be the kind of your go between they'll be able to answer any questions, explain the victim rights fund if you like penal damages or any injuries as a result of this.
