As reported by The Daily Mail, the incident unfolded when three Orlando police officers approached Rachel at the counter, attempting to de-escalate the situation.
She had already been informed that she was not permitted to board her flight, yet she remained defiant.
While the exact reason for her removal wasn’t clear, Rachel admitted to officers that she had “given [a Spirit employee] an attitude,” prompting the denial of service.

However, rather than seeking a rational resolution, she spiraled into a public meltdown.
Through tears, Rachel pleaded with officers, insisting she had paid for the flight and needed to get home due to a family member’s passing.
Yet, instead of cooperating, she repeatedly tried to bypass police and airline personnel, becoming increasingly aggressive.
Her frustration boiled over as she suddenly lunged behind the counter, knocking over a computer and striking both employees and officers in the process.
That was the final straw.
Authorities quickly restrained Rachel as she shrieked, “Take me to jail! Take me to jail!” Officers wrestled her to the ground while she continued to resist, thrashing and screaming obscenities.
One bystander attempted to talk some sense into her, advising her to “calm down” because she was “making it worse.” But rationality wasn’t on Rachel’s agenda.
In the midst of her tantrum, officers checked in with each other to assess injuries, confirming that the unruly passenger had hit them during the scuffle.
Even after being handcuffed, Rachel wasn’t finished making a scene. She kicked out at an officer, prompting a warning that she had just racked up another charge.
Her response? “I don’t give a [expletive]!”
As more officers arrived to assist, Rachel kept up the theatrics, flailing and cursing at those restraining her. S
he even took the opportunity to mock one of the officers, hurling insults about his uniform and authority.
Meanwhile, stunned airport staff and travelers recorded the spectacle, watching as police brought in a wheelchair to transport her out of the area.
Once seated in the wheelchair, Rachel continued spewing profanities, complaining about her wrists, and hurling racial slurs before finally being wheeled out to a patrol car.
Even then, her meltdown persisted, complete with foot-stomping and incoherent screaming.
When officers informed her she was being taken to county jail, one officer offered a blunt reality check: “You need to relax and stop acting up.”
Rachel now faces charges of resisting arrest, battery on an officer, and disorderly conduct. Perhaps next time, she’ll think twice before letting her entitlement get the best of her.
