This is probably not the time for Alaska’s politicians to get rowdy and cause problems.
The Associated Press is reporting that Lesil McGuire, an Alaskan state senator, caused a ruckus on board an Alaska Airlines flight early last month. Apparently, McGuire went so far as throwing a glass of water across the cabin when flight attendants refused to serve her alcohol.
There’s an Anchorage police report from Sept. 4 detailing the confrontation. McGuire was also order to stop using her Blackberry as the Anchorage-bound flight was taxiing to take off in Juneau, but she continued texting away, causing the pilot to actually stop the plane.
McGuire leads Alaska’s state affairs committee.
Police at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport questioned McGuire, but she will not be charged with a crime, authorities say.
Gadling wonders whether somebody put in a call…
