US Woman Slams Child's Head Into Window After ‘Miss Piggy' Comment On Flight
Last Updated: The 46-year-old from Hagerstown, Maryland, allegedly got aggressive after a child made fun of her appearance. A US woman allegedly hit a child during a flight from Orlando, Florida, to Hagerstown, Maryland. The incident reportedly happened on Memorial Day, May 26, onboard an Allegiant Airlines flight. The woman, identified as 46-year-old Kristy Crampton from Hagerstown, Maryland, allegedly became aggressive after a child made fun of her appearance. She now faces child abuse charges. The pilot of the flight contacted law enforcement to report a 'disturbance" on board. When the flight landed at Sanford Airport, police arrived to investigate. By that time, Crampton and the others in her group had already left the plane and were seen walking away from the gate. Police say the group had 'voluntarily" deplaned before officers arrived. According to a police report reviewed by People, Crampton was later detained by Sanford Airport Police and now faces child abuse charges. She appeared in court earlier this week in connection with the incident. Speaking with police, Crampton reportedly admitted to striking the child. She told officers that the boy had insulted her by calling her 'fat" and referring to her as 'Miss Piggy," a character from The Muppets. She described the child's behaviour as 'very rude" and 'disrespectful." She also said that she first tried to discipline the child by taking away their phone. This made the child angry. 'He pushed her arm off of the armrest twice before she responded by smacking him," the police said. Crampton also admitted to using physical force after the child allegedly continued to misbehave. Witnesses on board the flight told police that Crampton hit the child with her fist and a water bottle. One witness said, 'The woman was not correcting the child. She was abusing [them], whipping the s** out of the kid." According to the police report, Crampton also allegedly 'slammed" the child's head into the window during the assault. The child reportedly tried to protect himself by covering his head during the attack. Flight attendants said they did not witness the altercation directly. Authorities confirmed that drugs or alcohol were not involved in the incident. The exact age of the child has not been released. It is also unclear what Crampton's exact relationship is to the child although the report states they were travelling together as part of a group visiting Disney World. Crampton was released on May 27, on a $10,000 (approximately Rs 8.5 lakh) bond. As part of her release conditions, she was ordered not to reach out to the child for the time being.

New Mexico police officer dies following traffic stop shooting
Representative image (AP) ALBUQUERQUE: A police officer from northwestern New Mexico has died, several days after being critically injured when a man opened fire during a traffic stop. Law enforcement agencies gathered Sunday to escort the body of Bloomfield police officer Timothy Ontiveros from an Albuquerque hospital, where he had undergone multiple surgeries over recent days. Ontiveros had pulled over a man for a traffic violation on Memorial Day. Authorities said the man refused to roll down his window or provide identification. After negotiations failed, officers opted to arrest him and broke a window to take him into custody. The man subsequently began shooting, hitting Ontiveros and narrowly missing a second officer at the scene. That officer returned fire, striking and killing the suspect. Authorities said the man had a record that included previous arrests for assault, trespassing, resisting an officer, and threatening hospital staff. Ontiveros, 33, previously worked for the Farmington Police Department and was a volunteer firefighter for the neighboring community of Aztec. A GoFundMe page was set up to help his family. "In his short time with the agency, he demonstrated kindness, professionalism, and dedication to the safety of the community he served," Bloomfield Police Chief Phillip Francisco said Sunday in a social media post. Ontiveros had joined Bloomfield police in December. Francisco asked for the community's support as the department navigated what he called a tremendous loss. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham also mourned the loss of the officer. "His death is a heartbreaking reminder of the dangers our law enforcement officers face every single day," she said in a statement Sunday.
