The passenger who was drunk and bit a Civil Guard and assaulted two other officers who were trying to get her off a plane on which she was causing a disturbance in Lanzarote has been sentenced to six months' fine and to pay three compensations for a total of 859.83 euros.
The Court of Instruction number 3 of Arrecife held a quick trial this past Tuesday in which the 26-year-old London tourist was convicted of the crimes of resistance and three minor crimes of injury, one for each injured officer. One of the officers was defended by the legal services of the Unified Association of Civil Guards (AUGC).
Following an agreement between the parties, the woman was sentenced to four months' fine for the crime of resistance, with a daily fee of six euros and subsidiary personal responsibility.
In addition, penalties of 20 days of fines are added for each of the three minor crimes of injury, at a daily fee of six euros. In total, the British woman will have to pay 1,080 euros in fines.
To which are added the compensations to each agent. She must pay two of them with 259.42 euros and a third she will have to compensate with 340.99 euros.
The Civil Guard who was bitten had two "abrasions" on his left arm and right forearm that could correspond to "a bite."
The events took place in the early hours of last Tuesday, when the commander of a British Airways company flight to London requested the presence of police on the aircraft to evict some "problematic passengers."
After arriving on the plane, the Civil Guard found that they were two women who were in "a state of intoxication" and showed "a defiant and aggressive attitude," according to the police report to which La Voz has had access.
Upon arriving at the scene, the officers identified the two problematic passengers and asked them to leave the plane. One of the travelers refused to get off and assured the officers that she had paid for a flight "and that she is not going to leave the aircraft voluntarily."
While one of the passengers agreed to get off, the other took the opportunity to grab one of the police officers by the arm and bite him on the right forearm.
According to the police report, at that moment a struggle began with the officers, to whom she gave "various bites, scratches, kicks and shoves."
