A New York woman is now behind bars after an unruly in-flight incident forced a diversion.

Kelly Pichardo, 32, of Bronx, New York is serving four months and 36 months of supervised release for interference with flight crew members and being ‘unruly and intimidating ’to another first class passenger.

She was also ordered to pay restitution to American Airlines of $9,123.

An argument started after Pichardo and co-defendant, Leeza S. Rodriguez allegedly used a racial slur.

Co-defendant Rodriguez is set to be sentenced in November.
