NEW ORLEANS (KCPQ) -- A woman was arrested after allegedly arriving at the Louis Armstrong International Airport in New Orleans completely naked.
Mariel Vergara, 27, of Pueblo, Colo., walked into the airport naked and approached the Spirit Airlines counter on April 3, NOLA.com reports. Authorities were called to the scene and by the time they arrived, Vergara had reportedly put on a dress.
Vergara was reportedly not wearing underwear and that the dress did not cover her privates, allegedly violating public decency laws according to a sheriff's deputy on scene.
The airline then refused to let Vergara fly, and she was asked to leave the airport, which she allegedly refused to do.
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office says Vergara was charged with obscenity, resisting an officer, battery of a police officer, simple battery and remaining in the airport after being forbidden.
