Video shows Nashville airport threatening to arrest stranded Southwest passengers
The recording was posted on TikTok Wednesday by 20-year-old Amani Robinson, showing the airport cop speaking to a group of travelers lined up at a counter outside a gate.“But we have tickets,” one of the frustrated passengers protests.When Robinson’s mother, Shelley Morrison, asks the airport officer why they would be arrested for trespassing, the man replies: “If you don’t have a valid ticket and you’re on the secured side and you refuse to leave, you’ll be arrested.
The travelers argue that they no longer have valid tickets because of widespread Southwest flight cancelations.Police were called to escort travelers to an unsecured area after the carrier cancelled their tickets.In a second video uploaded by Morrison to TikTok, she continues to challenge the officer’s actions, telling him it’s “absolutely inappropriate” for him to threaten passengers with an arrest for trespassing “simply for standing the line.
“We understand and appreciate the frustrations traveler may have, and we are working to provide the best passenger experience for all,” airport officials added.
