According to the police report, Ms. Castillo began fighting with the flight crew and other passengers in the middle of a flight. Initially they were able to restrain her using ankle cuffs, but after she was able to get out of them twice, they had to use duck tape to keep her in her seat.

The flight had to be diverted to North Carolina where FBI agents boarded the airplane and took Ms. Castillo into custody. She is now facing several federal charges
