BANGOR (AP) – A British woman accused of downing prescription drugs, two or three bottles of wine and liquid soap from a London-bound jetliner’s lavatory before scuffling with flight attendants will remain in jail in Maine over the weekend.
Prosecutors say Galina Rusanova punched and kicked attendants on the Chicago-based United Airlines flight. They say she snapped “like a dog” while trying to bite one.
The FBI says Rusanova had gone to Los Angeles to visit a man she met over the Internet and was returning Wednesday when her flight was diverted to Bangor.
Rusanova has been charged with assault and interference with a flight crew.
No one answered the phone at defense lawyer Matthew Erickson’s office.
