A woman caught on video throwing a computer monitor at an American Airlines ticket agent at Miami International Airport has appeared before a judge. Camila McMillie, 25, is facing charges of aggravated battery, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct after the footage emerged. During the hearing, her bond was set at $4,500.
Circuit Judge Mindy Glazer found probable cause for the charges against McMillian after the incident in a busy airport.
According to investigators, on Tuesday McMillie was traveling from Alabama to New York City connecting at MIA.
She checked in at gate D-39 having rebooked after missing a previous flight, investigators said.
“While the subject was with the gate agent, her two minor children walked away without notice to use nearby restrooms. Once the subject noticed the children were not with her, she became irate and began to scream, demanding the gate agent to find her children,” police said.
