Chris Christie's niece bit and kicked deputies trying to escort her off a Spirit Airlines flight after she asked passengers who she thought were Latino if they were 'smuggling cocaine,' report says


Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's 25-year-old niece was arrested on a handful of charges, including six counts of battery, after causing a scene on a Spirit Airlines flight departing from Louis Armstrong International Airport on Thanksgiving Day, the Times-Picayune reported.

Before the plane's departure for New Jersey, Shannon Epstein reportedly made passengers uncomfortable after asking a family she perceived to be Latino if they were "smuggling cocaine," Capt. Jason Rivarde of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office told the Times-Picayune.

After employees requested she be removed from the flight, Epstein resisted and began struggling with deputies, the Times-Picayune reported.

After employees requested she be removed from the flight, Epstein resisted and began struggling with deputies, the Times-Picayune reported.

Six deputies were injured, including one who was bit by Epstein. Another deputy was kicked in the groin, the outlet reported.

Epstein was eventually detained after seven deputies handcuffed her to a chair, but the politician's niece reportedly taunted law enforcement by telling them they would get in trouble for arresting her as a result of Christie's connections to former President Donald Trump, the outlet reported.

1. Just how much mental poison got into her system, and from where?

[PCIntern]

2. Entitled creep

I refuse to say that she’s “ill”.

3. Alcohol. The usual boring drug suspect, I suspect!

4. I agree. Spoiled brat. But she's not the only one. I see this sort of behavior in lots of

young kids whose parents had seemingly gotten their kids everything, done everything for their kids, but way, way overdone.

The kids I've seen, do have eventually a big letdown, when the 'real world' finally catches up to them when they are out in the 'real world' trying to make it on their own. It's a big surprise to them when the world isn't so accommodating to their tantrums.

5. I think that a rabies test is in order.

7. Entitled brat!

8. "Epstein...detained after SEVEN deputies handcuffed her to a chair"

Seven deputies?

It appears she shares the entitled attitude of her uncle - does she also share his physical bulk?

[Me.]

9. Was She In Jail Until Bail Was Determined?

Bet not.

Just Read 20k bail got her released the same day and doesn't have to appear until Jan. 23
