A crew member had to physically block the door to keep Brennan from trying to use it.
'Brennan ignored the flight attendant's orders to remain seated and stop disturbing and frightening passengers,' court records stated.
At one point, Brennan reportedly started screaming that she was going to exit the plane.
Eventually, the flight crew had to ask two retired correctional officers who were passengers on the flight to help them restrain her.
The crew had to put both wrist and leg restraints on Brennan to keep her from being physical with them.
The incident caused the plane to make an emergency landing in Oklahoma City.
Once the flight landed, the Oklahoma City Police Department removed her from the plane. While this was happening, Brennan reportedly continued to scream and struggle.
If convicted, Brennan faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine, according to court documents.

'It's not something that should be in schools. More and more stuff happens like this everyday,' parent Derek Lofton said. The Henry County School System sent parents a message saying it is working with police to identify the individual who shared an inappropriate video in an online class. A spokesperson stated that technical information has been provided to the police to assist in the investigation, and the responsible person will be handled accordingly. 'Well they should take it as a serious matter, because it is,' Lofton said. Lofton said one of his daughters, who attends Union Grove High, informed him and his wife that pornography was shown. He hopes it wasn't a child who shared it as a prank. 'If it was a child we definitely have to raise them better than that. I don't know what to say. That's just a shame,' he said. Another parent said that pornography was displayed during his son's virtual math class at Union Grove High. Pressley, a longtime PTA volunteer, said the inappropriate video can be traumatizing to students. She said the school system needs to get to the bottom of how this happened. 'If someone got into the system we need a solution. How can we prevent that,' she said. The school system has reminded the school of best practices to prevent unknown or unauthorized users from entering virtual meetings. [SIGN UP: WSB-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
