Woman Strips Down And Goes Bizzerk On Southwest Flight To Phoenix
A Southwest Airlines flight from Houston to Phoenix returned to its gate before ever lifting off ground after a passenger stripped naked and began screaming. Captured in a shocking video obtained by KPNX, a woman could be seen completely undressed, pacing the aisle and belligerently yelling before takeoff.
The Houston Police Department confirmed that they received a call at 3:30 p.m. CT on Monday (March 3) that 'a passenger took off her clothes on a flight and was causing a disturbance.' Officers responded swiftly, removing the woman from the aircraft and transporting her to the NeuroPsychiatric Center at Harris Health Ben Taub Hospital for evaluation.
'There have been no charges filed, so her name was not released,' police reportedly stated. Southwest also addressed the situation, explaining that local law enforcement met Flight 733 upon its return to the gate due to a 'customer situation onboard.'
'Our Teams have reached out to customers onboard the flight to apologize for the delay to their travels,' the airline said in a statement. According to two anonymous passengers who spoke to KPNX, the disruption began just as the aircraft started taxiing. Initially clothed, the woman reportedly walked to the front of the plane and began shouting.
'It was very uncomfortable and really scary,' one passenger recalled. Another traveler shared that the woman expressed a desire to exit the flight before takeoff. 'I do remember her saying that she wanted to get off the flight,' they said. Moments later, the woman allegedly started striking parts of the plane, proclaiming she was bipolar, before stripping off her clothes and screaming. 'She started, like, jumping up and down, screaming at the top of her lungs,' a witness recounted.
The decision not to press charges left some passengers confused, particularly because there were children allegedly present at the time of the incident. 'Considering that she got naked in front of a bunch of kids and anyone else. I'm surprised there weren't any consequences,' the witness said.

Judge Sides With Trump Administration In Mahmoud Khalil Case
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A federal judge on Friday sided with the Trump administration in the ongoing legal fight over the detention of Columbia University graduate student and pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil. In a less than two-page order, U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz said he would not order Khalil's release from detention, saying Khalil can seek relief through other avenues. The Context Farbiarz issued a ruling earlier this week saying Khalil could not be detained or deported based solely on Secretary of State Marco Rubio's determination that his work as a pro-Palestinian activist went against U.S. foreign policy. He gave the government until 9:30 a.m. CT on Friday to respond. But Farbiarz's ruling left the door open for Khalil to be detained on other grounds, which the Department of Justice's civil division noted in a Friday letter saying the government would not release him. Student negotiator Mahmoud Khalil is on the Columbia University campus in New York at a pro-Palestinian protest encampment on Monday, April 29, 2024. Student negotiator Mahmoud Khalil is on the Columbia University campus in New York at a pro-Palestinian protest encampment on Monday, April 29, 2024. Ted Shaffrey/AP What To Know "The Court did not order Respondents to release Petitioner Mahmoud Khalil," the letter said. "The Court instead enjoined Respondents from detaining Khalil based on the Secretary of State's determination." "That injunction does not interfere with Respondents' authority to detain Khalil on other grounds, including the removal charge ... as an alien inadmissible at the time of entry or admission..." the letter continued. It went on to say Khalil can be detained because he committed "fraud or material misrepresentation" in connection to his green card application, adding, "Given that ability to detain Khalil on other grounds, Respondents have not sought an immediate stay of this Court's preliminary injunction." Farbiarz agreed with the government's argument, saying in a Friday order that Khalil he will not order Khalil's release from detention and that the Columbia graduate can instead pursue relief through other avenues, including going through the Department of Homeland Security and an immigration judge.

'Vicious killer' whose execution was stopped under Biden to now proceed because of Trump
'Vicious killer' whose execution was stopped under Biden to now proceed because of Trump Oklahoma scheduled John Hanson's execution for Dec. 15, 2002, but the Biden administration blocked his transfer from federal custody to the state. Now it's back on amid a busy year for executions. Show Caption Hide Caption US expands execution methods Most death row inmates faced one execution method in modern history. Now, there are many alternative ways to die. An Oklahoma death row inmate whose execution was thwarted by President Joe Biden's administration, only for it to get the green light under President Donald Trump, is now set to die on Thursday. John Hanson, 61, is set to be executed by lethal injection for killing 77-year-old Mary Agnes Bowles after he and another man carjacked and kidnapped her from a mall on Aug. 3, 1999. The men also killed a witness, Jerald Thurman. "I can't change the past," Hanson said at a recent clemency board hearing asking for mercy. "I would if I could." Hanson's execution will come the same week that he won a stay from a judge, only for it to be overturned by a higher court. If the execution moves forward as scheduled, it will be the 23rd in the U.S. this year and the third of four executions this week alone. Here's what you need to know about the execution, including why Hanson's fate changed after Trump took office for the second time. When is the execution? Hanson is scheduled to be executed at 10 a.m. CT on Thursday, June 12, at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. It would be the second execution in Oklahoma this year. Nolan Clay, a reporter for The Oklahoman − part of the USA TODAY Network − is set to be among the witnesses to the execution. What was John Hanson convicted of? On Aug. 31, 1999, Mary Bowles was in the Promenade Mall in Tulsa, getting in one of the frequent walks she liked to do for exercise. When she got back to her car, John Hanson and Victor Miller pulled their guns, then carjacked and kidnapped Bowles. They took her to an isolated area near a dirt pit, according to court records. The owner of the pit, Jerald Thurman, was there and saw the car circling the pit before it drove up to him. Miller got out and shot Thurman four times, including once in the head, as Bowles sat helplessly in the back of the car, court records say. Miller drove a short distance away, during which Bowles asked the men: "Do you have any kids or anyone who loves you?" according to court records, prompting Hanson to punch her. Shortly after, Miller stopped the car, and Hanson forced Bowles out and shot her her at least six times, court records say. Thurman's nephew, who had been on the phone with him just before the attack, found his wounded uncle still alive shortly after the shooting. Thurman died two weeks later. Bowles's badly "significantly decomposed" body was found more than a week later on Sept. 7, 1999, court records say. Hanson and Miller continued on what prosecutors called an "armed-felony binge," robbing a video store and a bank at gunpoint over a five-day period before Miller's wife turned the men in following an argument. They were captured two days after Bowles' body was found. Miller was sentenced to life in prison, and Hanson got the death penalty. Miller also later bragged about having been the one to shoot Bowles, according to court records. All of that adds up to "a disturbing miscarriage of justice," Hanson's attorneys say. Hanson explained his actions at a recent clemency hearing, describing Miller as driving the violence. "I was caught in a situation I couldn't control," he said. "Things were happening so fast, and at the spur of the moment, due to my lack of decisiveness and fear, I responded incorrectly, and two people lost their lives." Who was Mary Bowles? 'A gentle person' The turnout for Mary Bowles' funeral showed just how beloved the avid volunteer was in the community. Hundreds of family, friends and fellow volunteers packed her funeral to share their memories of the 77-year-old, according to an archived story in the Tulsa World. Among Bowles' many volunteer organizations was a local hospital where she had logged over 11,000 hours in the neonatal unit for critical newborn babies, the Oklahoman reported in 1999. "She was such a gentle person," Beverly Farrell, a hospital director, told The Oklahoman. "I can't imagine her offering resistance to anyone. She would have given up her car. I don't understand how anyone could be violent to her." Though Bowles never married and had no children herself, she treated over a dozen nephews and nieces as if they were her own, friends and family told media outlets at the time. "She had to be the greatest aunt in the world," Farrell said. Bowles also had a passion for music and traveling. She majored in music education at Oklahoma A&M and played at the Tulsa Philharmonic for three seasons, according to the Oklahoman. Bowles once took a hot-air balloon ride over Lake Tahoe and enjoyed cross-country skiing in the winter, niece Linda Behrends told the Tulsa World. Farrell said Bowles' murder was devastating for the hospital and the community: "She made such a meaningful impact here in all that she did." What does President Donald Trump have to do with this execution? Hanson was imprisoned in Louisiana, serving a life sentence for bank robbery and other federal crimes, when Oklahoma scheduled his execution for Bowles' murder. Hanson's execution had been set for Dec. 15, 2022, but the Biden administration blocked his transfer to Oklahoma from federal custody in Louisiana. The move was in line with Biden's opposition to the death penalty and came a couple years before Biden commuted the death sentences of all but three federal death row inmates just before he left office in December. During Trump's first month in office this year, he signed an executive order restoring federal executions, calling the death penalty "an essential tool for deterring and punishing those who would commit the most heinous crimes." Three days later, Oklahoma's Republican Attorney General Gentner Drummond asked the U.S. Department of Justice to transfer Hanson to his state. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons to transfer Hanson from Louisiana, and he arrived in Oklahoma in March. "For the family and friends of Mary Bowles, the wait for justice has been a long and frustrating one," Drummond said in a news release shortly after Hanson's transfer. "While the Biden Administration inexplicably protected this vicious killer from the execution chamber, I am grateful President Trump and Attorney General Bondi recognized the importance of this murderer being back in Oklahoma so justice can be served." John Hanson won a stay from a judge this week Hanson's execution was in doubt after an Oklahoma judge granted him a stay on Monday. The stay stemmed from Hanson's arguments that one of three members of the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board who voted to deny him clemency was biased. (The board voted 3-2.) Hanson said that board member Sean Malloy was a prosecutor in Tulsa County when Hanson was resentenced in 2006 and therefore should not have been allowed to weigh in on his clemency petition. Malloy said he never worked on Hanson's case. Oklahoma County District Judge Richard Ogden ordered a stay of execution pending Hanson's lawsuit against the board over Malloy's participation. Drummond immediately appealed the ruling and on Wednesday, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals overturned it, allowing the execution to proceed. Hanson's attorney, Emma Rolls, said in a statement that the appeals court's ruling "leaves Mr. Hanson at imminent risk of being executed without the constitutional safeguards he's entitled to under law." 'No person facing execution should have to plead for mercy in front of a decisionmaker with direct ties to their prosecution," Rolls, said. "We are pursuing all available avenues to ensure that Mr. Hanson receives a fair process before this irreversible punishment is carried out.'
