On July 10, 2014, you were advised through a Final Notice of Proposed Civil Penalty that the

After consideration of all of the available information in this matter, it has been determined that: 

l. On or about February 2, 2014, you were a passenger aboard Spirit Airlines Flight# 

316 traveling from Wayne County International Airport, Detroit, Michigan (KDTW) 

to La Guardia International Airport, New York, New York (KLGA). 

2. During taxiing of the above flight, a crewmember gave a safety demonstration and 

exit row briefing to passengers. 

3. Your seat was located in an designated exit row. 

4. During the above instructions, a cremember instructed you to talk quietly as you were 

speaking loudly and interrupting the presentation. 

5. You refused and the crewmernber informed you that you would have to be resealed. 

6. You refused again and then engaged in an altercation with a crewmember. 

7. As a result of your behavior, the pilots' pre-takeoff duties· were interrupted and the 

aircraft was returned to the gate. 

8. At the gate, you became more belligerent with crewmembers and refused to depart the 

aircraft. 
9. Law enforcement officers were called and had to forcibly remove you from the 

aircraft. 

I 0. Your above actions were threatening or intimidating, and interfered with a 

crewmember in the performance of the crewmember's duties. 

I 1. As a res);llt of the foregoing, you violated Section 121.580 of the Federal Aviation 

Regulations in that no person may assault, threaten, intimidate, or interfere with a 

crewmember in the performance of the crewmember's duties aboard an aircraft being 

operated. 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. Sections 4630l(a)-(d), that you 

be and hereby are assessed a civil penalty in the amount of $5,000. 

You are hereby ordered to pay, immediately, the assessed amount by mailing or delivering a

The amount of civil penalty assessed in this Order constitutes a debt owed to the United States. 

You have now exhausted your right to seek review of the validity or amount of this debt. If this 

debt is not paid in full within 30 days of your receipt of this letter, the debt is considered 

delinquent. For delinquent debts, federal regulation (49 C.F.R. §89.23) requires us to charge 

interest, from the date of this Order, at a fixed annual rate of l %, along with an administrative 

charge of $12.00 per month, representing our costs of administrative collection. Furthermore, if 

the full amount assessed is not paid in full within 90 days of your receipt of this letter, we are 

required to assess <!Il additional penalty at an annual rate of 6%, accruing from the date of 

delinquency. Delinquent debts may be reported to consumer reporting agencies or commercial 

credit bureaus, which could adversely affect your credit rating. Non payment of this debt may 

ultimately result in a referral to a collection agency, the Internal Revenue Service, or to the 

United States Department of Justice for enforced collection. ·
