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.

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

My point entirely. It is not news in either case but sensationalism to ‘sell news’. In the old days it was called yellow journalism.

Well first of all, they should arrest Krispy for this crime.

Secondly, this statement is very, very telling, as it vitiates Krispy's kayfabe with Trump.

"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."

She should get endorsed by OAC and run for office.

She’s fit right in.

FTA: "...asking a family she perceived to be Latino if they were "smuggling cocaine,"

So Shannon Epstein is RAAAASACCCISSST. That makes Bagadonuts Kristie RAAAASACCCISSST. Do I need to ask how the fake news media would spin it if it were anyone remotely related to Trump!
