Woman in Video Spraying Travelers and Atlanta Airport Employees With Fire Extinguisher Arrested

An Ohio woman who was filmed spraying airline employees and travelers with a fire extinguisher at an Atlanta airport has been arrested by authorities.

Per a press release from the Atlanta Police Department, the woman seen in the clip where she appeared to go on a rampage with the extinguisher has been identified as Jennifer Holder and was arrested following the incident. Officers responded to calls of a suspicious individual attempting to open closed doors at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport, and by the time authorities arrived she had made use of a fire extinguisher when confronted by airport security.

“Officers attempted to make contact with the female, but she was non-compliant and sprayed officers with the fire extinguisher,” reads the press release from Wednesday, Jan. 18. “Despite being assaulted, officers were able to detain the combative female. Three airport flight attendants with complaints of respiratory discomfort were treated on scene by EMS and were later cleared. Officers relocated the arrestee, Ms. Holder to the precinct where she continued to behave erratically and combative, by spitting and kicking at officers.”

In an extended clip from the moment, as seen below, Holder argued with airport employees after she was asked why she didn’t pay for her food at a Buffalo Wild Wings inside the airport. She claimed someone else paid for her meal, and eventually got so angry that she picked up the fire extinguisher to use on the staff. 

Holder is currently being held at the Clayton County Jail on assault charges. Check out a longer video of the incident above.
