克里斯蒂娜·凯德舍娃与缅因州班戈的联合航空航站楼Kristina Kedysheva and the United Airlines terminal in Bangor, Maine

据报道,一名因在酒精影响下在航班上发酒疯、被指控咬伤和踢打联合航空空乘人员的俄罗斯妇女,其所有刑事指控已被撤销 — — 因为她已被美国移民当局驱逐出境。

A Russian woman accused of biting and kicking United Airlines flight attendants during a booze-fueled midair meltdown has had all criminal charges against her dropped — because US immigration authorities deported her, according to reports.

37 岁的克里斯蒂娜·凯迪舍娃曾因干扰飞行机组人员和在飞机上袭击他人而面临最高 21 年联邦监禁。

Kristina Kedysheva, 37, faced a maximum of 21 years behind bars on federal charges of interfering with a flight crew and assault aboard an aircraft.

但缅因州的联邦检察官如今在该俄罗斯公民被遣返回国后决定撤销此案。

But federal prosecutors in Maine have now abandoned the case after the Russian national was removed from the United States.

“她未被起诉,而是被移民当局遣返,”助理美国检察官安德鲁·麦科马克据《阿斯伯里公园新闻报》报道如是说。

“She wasn’t prosecuted, she was removed by immigration authorities,” said Assistant US Attorney Andrew McCormack, according to the Asbury Park Press.

“9 月 29 日,美国移民与海关执法局(ICE)将俄罗斯公民克里斯蒂娜·凯迪舍娃遣返回意大利,即她的出发地,符合适用法律、政策和既定程序,”国土安全部发言人对《邮报》表示。凯迪舍娃目前居住在意大利杰萨特。

“On September 29, ICE deported Kristina Kedysheva, a citizen of Russia … she was removed to Italy, her point of origin, consistent with applicable law, policy, and established procedures,” a DHS spokesman told The Post. Kedysheva presently lives in Gessate, Italy.

尽管有指控称凯迪舍娃在从意大利米兰飞往新泽西州纽瓦克的跨大西洋航班上制造混乱,迫使飞行员在缅因州班戈进行非计划性着陆,但案件仍被撤销,据一份 FBI 法庭文件所述。

The dismissal came despite allegations that Kedysheva caused chaos aboard the transatlantic flight from Milan, Italy to Newark, NJ, forcing pilots to make an unscheduled landing in Bangor, Maine, according to an FBI court document.

事端发生在飞行约四小时后,当时凯迪舍娃在已经喝了几杯酒后反复要求再要酒水。当空乘人员拒绝为她服务时,她据称变得越来越具有攻击性。

The trouble began about four hours into the flight when Kedysheva repeatedly demanded more alcohol after already consuming several drinks. When flight attendants refused to serve her, she allegedly became increasingly aggressive.

她无视返回座位的指示,开始用手机拍摄机组人员,并在他们试图制服她时称他们为“种族主义者”。

She ignored instructions to return to her seat, began filming crew members with her phone and calling them “racist” as they tried to restrain her.

她必须被五个人按住,以防止她试图在空中打开舱门 — — 随后,她咬伤并踢了一名拒绝为她提供更多酒水的空乘人员,法庭文件如此称。

She had to be held down by five people to stop her from trying to open a door midair — and then bit and kicked a flight attendant who refused to serve her more booze, according to court documents.

在争执过程中,凯迪舍娃据称用牙咬住了一名空乘人员的手腕,随后又踢了同一名机组人员的腹部。据法庭文件称,该空乘人员肩部受伤,需要医疗救治。

During the struggle, Kedysheva allegedly sank her teeth into one flight attendant’s wrist before kicking the same crew member in the stomach. The flight attendant suffered a shoulder injury requiring medical attention, according to the court documents.

机组人员和乘客 — — 包括来自新泽西州汤姆河的一对夫妇 — — 制服了失控的旅客,并在飞机降落前一直将其控制住。

Crew members and passengers — including a couple from Toms River, NJ — helped overpower the unruly traveler and kept her restrained until the aircraft landed.

航班18号当时机上有274名乘客和13名机组人员,随后改飞至班戈国际机场, Kedysheva 被从飞机上带下。

Flight 18 had 274 passengers and 13 crew members aboard when it diverted to Bangor International Airport, where Kedysheva was removed from the plane.

在机场,她被当地警察、美国海关与边境保护局官员以及FBI特工接走,并被指控干扰机组人员并在飞机上袭击他人。

At the airport, she was met by local police, US Customs and Border Protection officers and FBI Special Agents and charged with interfering with flight crew members and assault aboard an aircraft.

调查人员称,她通过俄语翻译告诉他们,她当时正前往纽约庆祝朋友的40岁生日。

Investigators said she told them through a Russian interpreter that she had been traveling to New York to celebrate a friend’s 40th birthday.

然而,她随后在班戈被拘留了大约三周,直至9月29日获释并被移交给移民当局。之后她被驱逐出境,检察官申请撤销刑事指控。

Instead, she spent approximately three weeks in custody in Bangor before being released on Sept. 29 and turned over to immigration authorities. She was subsequently deported, and the prosecutor moved to dismiss the criminal charges.

据NJ.com报道,缅因州美国检察官安德鲁·B·本森表示:“进一步起诉不符合司法利益。”

“Further prosecution was not in the interests of justice,” Maine US Attorney Andrew B. Benson said, according to NJ.com.

指控被撤销,且未作出有罪认定,案件由此 abrupt 结束。

The charges were dismissed without determination of guilt, bringing an abrupt end to the case.
