Highlights

A Glendale woman was indicted in federal court in June 2023 on charges stemming from an assault on two Transportation Security Administration officers at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport after agents confiscated her apple juice, according to reporting by KTAR News 92.3 FM, corroborated by the Arizona Republic, Fox 10 Phoenix, and AP News.

The defendant, identified in court records as Coleman, faced charges including aggravated assault — a low-level felony — along with misdemeanor assault counts and one count of criminal damage, according to Arizona's Family, which reported her bond was set at $4,500 at the time of her initial arrest.

What did the indictment allege?

The indictment alleged that during her interference with TSA officers, Coleman inflicted bodily injury on two agents — specifically, she grabbed one officer by the hair, forcing the officer, according to the TSA's own published account of the case.

Coleman was sentenced to four months in prison, Arizona's Family reported in September 2024. The TSA confirmed the sentence in a published statement, describing the incident as an assault on officers performing screening duties at Sky Harbor.
