A British beautician, who was on her way to Ibiza to comfort the loved ones of a friend who died of an overdose, was kicked off her Ryanair flight when she refused to wear a mask, according to her report. .
The 34-year-old Hayley Box, a single parent of two, was arrested after she boarded the plane in September without showing her passport and became abusive to air hostess and police, Cavendish Press reported on a court hearing.
She later claimed she was so sloppy that she could not even remember getting on the plane at Manchester Airport after dropping off her children at a babysitter and spending time at the Clayton Hotel.
Box, from Shifnal, Shropshire, allegedly drank a whole bottle of wine in her room and then consumed another large glass at the airport before arriving for her 6am flight.
“The cabin driver asked her to put on her face mask, but the accused did not comply,” prosecutor Rachel Dixon said Monday.
‘The cabin driver said the accused reacted slowly and heard the instructions. “The accused was also asked for her passport several times, but she did not comply with these requests,” Dixon continued.
“The cabin driver then decided to remove her from the plane and he asked her to leave,” she said.
“She did not listen and he told her she could leave voluntarily or leave the police. “She then decided to fasten her seat belt and the police were contacted,” Dixon added.
‘When the police arrived, the accused got up and became aggressive. She started crying and claimed that her friend had died and that she had to go to Ibiza. When police started climbing the stairs, she removed her. But the accused then tried to return to the plane, and they picked her up again. ‘
According to Dixon, the woman started cursing and pushing the police when they led her to a police van where she was eventually subjected.
“She said she did not recall the incident at all. She said her actions were the result of a lack of sleep, not eating food and consuming wine too quickly. It was quite a long-term incident, “said Dixon.
Box, whose business offers beauty treatments and anti-wrinkle injections, admitted that he was drunk and fined £ 120, or about $ 166.
Her lawyer said the woman was “dead and ashamed”.
“She explains that she lost a friend in Ibiza to an overdose in August 2020, and the reason for her departure to Ibiza was to comfort her friends,” Jane Shaw said.
“She was very, very raw and did not expect the death of her good friend,” she said. “She slept very little and at the airport to calm herself down, she drank another glass of wine.
“She can not remember getting on the plane. “She can’t remember talking to the captain,” Shaw added.
