FLIGHT DIVERTED

Pensacola Police say a flight from Pensacola to Miami on Friday was diverted back to Pensacola after a female passenger tried to fake a medical condition to get a better seat. The American Airlines flight returned to Pensacola International Airport around 6:30 am. The woman refused to leave the plane after it landed and the rest of the passengers were evacuated. Police officers  and the plane’s captain eventually persuaded the woman to leave the airplane and she was taken into custody under the Baker Act for a mental health evaluation. Criminal charges have not been filed against the woman.
