Woman Tried to Force Her Way Onto Plane: State Police

WINDSOR LOCKS, CT - A woman attempted to force her way past a gate agent at Bradley International Airport Thursday morning, resulting in her arrest.

Tamiko Johnson, 39, of Springfield, was charged with interfering with an officer and second-degree breach of peace.

Bond was set at $500, and she is scheduled to appear in Enfield Superior Court May 5.

A report from state police says Johnson was denied boarding an American Arilines flight around 6:15 a.m. She then tried to enter the jet bridge by pushing her way past the gate agent, but the agent blocked her and secured the door to prevent her from boarding the plane.

Police said Johnson was uncooperative and resisted arrest.

The report did not state why Johnson had been denied access to the aircraft.
