Narrative

PAX CAME ON FLT WITH A JOVIAL PERSONALITY. LATER ON; I FOUND OUT THAT SHE HAD BEEN DRINKING BEFORE THE FLT. THE PAX NEXT TO HER WANTED THE WOMAN MOVED BECAUSE SHE WAS DRUNK. THIS IS HOW WE FOUND OUT SHE WAS DRUNK. SINCE DRUNK PAX WAS IN EXIT ROW; WE ASKED HER TO MOVE TO THE SEAT BEHIND HERS. CREW DECIDED SHE WAS NOT CAPABLE OF OP OF DOOR EXIT IF AN EMER AROSE. WE CHKED THE LIST OF CRITERIA FOR EXITS AND SHE WAS NOT CAPABLE OF OPENING EXIT BEING IN HER DRUNKEN CONDITION. WE POLITELY ASKED HER TO SIT IN THE SEAT BEHIND HER AND SHE REFUSED. WE TOLD HER SINCE SHE HAD BEEN DRINKING SHE COULD NOT SIT IN THE DOOR EXIT. SHE REFUSED AGAIN. SHE CONFIRMED SHE HAD BEEN DRINKING AND BLAMED IT ON THE DELAY; 'THAT'S WHY I'M IN THIS CONDITION;' SHE HAPPILY TOLD US. THE #1 FLT ATTENDANT TOLD HER 'DO YOU UNDERSTAND IF YOU DON'T MOVE TO THE OTHER SEAT YOU COULD BE ARRESTED?' THE DRUNK PAX SAID 'THEN ARREST ME!' SO FLT ATTENDANT #1 TOLD CAPT. CAPT CALLED AUTHS TO MEET THE FLT. PAX WAS ARRESTED FOR NOT FOLLOWING CREW INSTRUCTIONS.
