Women Arrested Following Altercation On Airplane: State Police

WINDSOR LOCKS, CT — A pair of women were arrested at Bradley International Airport Sunday afternoon after the captain of a JetBlue flight from Florida complained some sort of fight had taken place aboard the aircraft nearing its arrival, state police said.

Desiree Goffe, 23, of New Britain and Kaylene Valentin, 21, of Meriden were each charged with impairing the morals of a minor and second-degree breach of peace. They were each released on $5,000 non-surety bond, and are scheduled to appear Sept. 28 in Enfield Superior Court.

Around 12:39 p.m., state police troopers at the airport met the arriving plane, and an investigation revealed Goffe and Valentin had become upset with having their seats being kicked and tapped by two children, aged 4 and 2. Goffe and Valentin responded inappropriately by directly yelling and cursing at the children, causing passengers on the plane to become nervous and the children and parents to become frightened, state police said.

Goffe and Valentin cursed and used vulgar words toward the children and parents, and multiple passengers approached troopers upon deplaning, state police said.
