Woman Charged With Assault After Punching, Spitting on Unmasked Passenger on Delta Flight By Allen Zhong December 28, 2021 Updated: December 28, 2021biggersmaller Print A woman who was recorded in a viral video punching and spitting an unmasked male passenger on a Delta Air Lines flight was charged in Georgia.
The woman who was identified as Patricia Yannet Cornwall was charged with assaulting by striking, beating, or wounding; a crime which is punishable by a fine and/or up to one year in jail if found guilty.
Records from the Walton County Sheriffâs Office show Cornwall is a California resident.
According to the complaint and sworn affidavit from FBI Task Force Officer Rudyard Jarrard, the incident happened during the flight from Tampa, Florida, to Atlanta, Georgia. The disputes were started over a beverage cart blocking the aisle.
âWho am I, Rosa Parks?â Cornwall responded when the flight attendant asked her to find an open seat until beverage service was completed. The male passengerâwho is identified as R.S.M. in the complaintâseemed to think that Cornwallâs response was inappropriate, and told her that she âisnât black ⌠this isnât Alabama and this isnât a bus.â
Cornwall then turned on the male passenger and ended up striking his head with a closed fist and causing visible injury. She also spat in the passengerâs face and head area.
She was taken by the flight security and restrained for the remainder of the flight, reads the complaint.
Cornwall was released on Monday after a $20,000 bond was posted, court records show.
A federal public defender, Mildred Geckler Dunn, was assigned as her attorney.
The Epoch Times reached out to Dunn for comments.

Cornwall can be seen in the videoâwith her mask under her chinâtelling the male passenger âWear your [sic] mask?â
âIâm eating,â the passenger can be heard responding.
âSit down, Karen!â the passenger can be heard shouting at Cornwall once during the video.
R.S.M. and at least another passenger reminded Cornwall to wear her mask during the event.
He can be heard swearing while telling Cornwall to wear her mask.
Cornwall punched him right after.
This woman was a nut to begin with. She's threatened to kill her step dad and mom in the past and has been in a Psych ward before too.
She's a danger to society and thankfully she didn't have a weapon of something or she would've really went wild.
wow
Apparently this lady Patricia Cornwall, a former actress and Raiders cheerleader who appeared in Playboy videos during the 1990s. I guess she needed work https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/mask-nazi-arrested-on-delta-flight-woman-goes-full-psycho-slap-spits-on-passenger/
I didn't know this part but it's a classic by the victim of the assault "âWho am I, Rosa Parks?â Cornwall responded when the flight attendant asked her to find an open seat until beverage service was completed. The male passengerâwho is identified as R.S.M. in the complaintâseemed to think that Cornwallâs response was inappropriate, and told her that she âisnât black ⌠this isnât Alabama and this isnât a bus.âđ
