Quick Summary

On September 11, a woman named Katy Inzer, aged 46, was accused of removing her pants and masturbating on an American Airlines flight from Baltimore to Miami shortly after takeoff. A passenger reported the incident to a flight attendant, who then asked Inzer to stop; she complied by putting her pants back on and falling asleep for the rest of the flight. Upon landing in Miami, law enforcement noted that Inzer had been drinking heavily and could not remember the alleged misconduct due to being asleep. The case was forwarded to the FBI because jurisdiction was unclear, as similar incidents have prompted calls for prompt reporting to authorities or flight crews.

Story summary

On September 11, a 46-year-old woman named Katy Inzer allegedly engaged in lewd behavior on an American Airlines flight from Baltimore to Miami. According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, shortly after takeoff, a fellow passenger reported seeing Inzer remove her pants and start masturbating while making inappropriate sounds. When approached by a flight attendant, Inzer put her pants back on and fell asleep for the remainder of the flight.

Upon landing in Florida, law enforcement noted that Inzer had a strong odor of alcohol and bloodshot eyes but claimed to have no memory of the incident due to falling asleep. The case was forwarded to the FBI because it was unclear which jurisdiction had primary responsibility over the offense. Neither Inzer nor local officials immediately responded to inquiries from media outlets about this incident, leaving many details unverified.
