Overview
- The three women, stopped over an unpaid second carry-on Sunday night at Miami International Airport, boarded a Philadelphia-bound Frontier flight through a restricted door.
- Frontier voided their boarding passes and asked deputies to remove them after they refused to leave when told their tickets were no longer valid.
- Police said one woman spat on a person and that all three resisted being handcuffed, leading to trespass and resisting charges, with an added battery count for Nafisa Dockery.
- Jail records show they were booked at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, bonds were set at $4,000 for Dockery and Dionjana Cochran and $2,000 for Davana Cochran, and arraignment is scheduled for April 22.
- Social media video of the removals spread online as the roughly one-hour flight delay drew fresh attention to ultra–low-cost carriers’ strict bag-fee enforcement, which permits canceling boarding and requesting police removal when passengers do not comply.
