A woman who was arrested last week for getting into a fight with an elderly man who was not wearing a mask on board a flight had earlier compared herself to Civil Rights icon Rosa Parks, according to a criminal complaint filed on December 24.
The complaint, obtained by DailyMail.com, claims Patricia Cornwall was trying to get back to her seat from the bathroom on a Delta Airlines flight from Tampa to Atlanta on Thursday when a flight attendant with a beverage cart was blocking the aisle.
Cornwall, 51, a former Playboy model and Los Angeles Raiders cheerleader who once appeared in an episode of Baywatch, allegedly asked the flight attendant for help getting back to her seat, but the flight attendant told her to just take an open seat until they were done handing out drinks.
At that point, Cornwall allegedly asked, 'What am I, Rosa Parks?' according to the complaint - comparing her situation to a Civil Rights icon who refused to give up her seat at the front of a bus in Alabama in 1955 even though black people were relegated to the back of the bus at the time.
Her comment reportedly got the attention of an 80-year-old man sitting nearby who told her that she 'isn't black ... This isn't Alabama and this isn't a bus,' the complaint states.
He also reportedly told her to 'Sit down, Karen,' to which Cornwall replied: 'Sit down p****.'
Soon, the two started a fight that went viral on social media, with Cornwall seen punching, scratching and spitting at the older male passenger.
She was later arrested at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport by Atlanta police, and she was taken into custody by the FBI. She has since been released on a $20,000 bond.
Cornwall had previously been arrested back in November for a DUI, after she crashed her car into a tree in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, and started attacking the responding officers, TMZ first reported.
During that incident, Cornwall had crashed her vehicle and allegedly got aggressive with the cops who responded, court records show, adding that she initially refused to give her name or get out of her car.
'She said she was not hurt and then became belligerent,' a Walton County sheriff’s deputy wrote, according to court documents.
When she did exit the vehicle, she began 'going after' first responders, according to court docs.
'Once we stopped her she tried to fight us,' the deputy wrote, court documents state. 'At that point, she was detained for her safety and ours.'
Cornwall had also been arrested on December 11, 2020, and pleaded no contest to having a blood alcohol level of 0.08 percent or higher, the New York Post reported.
Court records show she was sentenced to 36 months of summary probation and was ordered to complete community service, and she also had to enroll in a three-month first-offender alcohol and drug education counseling program.
Court records show that her sister-in-law, Monica Cummings, filed for domestic protection against Cornwall in December 2020.
In a video of the recent altercation captured by ATL Uncensored, Cornwall is seen angrily confronting the man for not wearing his mask even though he had taken it off to eat.
'Put your f***ing mask on,' Cornwall tells the man as the pair continue to go back and forth with another.
After continuously refusing to comply with her demands, Cornwall then aggressively tells him 'stand your a** up!'
'Sit down Karen!' he yells his response as flight crew members approach the fighting pair in an attempt to get them to calm down.
She then demands the crew to help her as she repeatedly barks 'Tell him to mask up'
A male flight crew member also demands Cornwall put her mask up as she continues to request that they ask him to put his up.
'You put your mask down b**ch' the man responds as her mask is seen lowered below her chin.
'Did you call me a b**ch?' she asks as she gets closer to him.
After he responds 'Yes I did' she is then seen punching and scratching him in the face, causing visible injuries, before she spat at him as flight attendant tried to pull her away.
'Now you're going to jail', the man says. 'That's assault.'
The pair continue to shout expletives at each other as a female flight attendant starts to pull Cornwall away.
She then spits on the man as the attendant and other flight crew members attempt to bring her to the back of the plane.
She continues to ask the flight crew members to get the man to put his mask on as hers still remains under her chin.
'I will put my mask up when you put your mask up!' she shouts angrily before being escorted by flight crew as well as other passengers.
The video has received over seven million views since it was posted to Twitter on Friday.
On Delta's flights, as on all flights, mask must be worn at all times during the flight except when eating, drinking, or taking oral medication.
The mask must not remain below the nose and mouth for an extended period of time as it must be put on properly in between bites and sips.
The only other acceptable reason for taking it off is to put on an oxygen mask in the event of an emergency or for medical exemption purposes.
It remains unclear how the other passengers and flight crew members were injured, and how severe those wounds were.
But following the brief violent interaction, Cornwall was escorted to the back of the plane by flight attendants and was arrested at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport by Atlanta police.
She was charged with assault in Atlanta on Monday, and posted a $20,000 bond at her arraignment, the New York Post reported. A judge ruled that she can only fly home.
Regarding her sister-in-law's filing for domestic violence protection in December 2020, court documents say Cornwall has a 'history of violent outbursts and destructive and erratic behavior,' the Post reported Tuesday.
She allegedly threatened Cummings with voice messages saying 'you are dead,' and Cummings said: 'She stated I just f***** up my whole family and I neither spoke to her prior or provoked this verbal assault. [Cornwall] said not to underestimate or doubt her and all it takes is one phone call.'
Cornwall has previously worked as an actress, appearing in an episode of Baywatch under the name Patty Breton. She also had a minor role on Married ... with Children in 1989 and was featured in Playboy: Cheerleaders.
And in the early 1990s, the Post reported, Cornwall was a member of the Raiderettes - the cheerleading squad for the then Los Angele Raiders.
For the past 13 years, she had been working as a real estate agent for Coldwell Banker Realty, but she recently moved to Florida, Heavy.com reported and posted on a website looking for a room to rent for $1,200 a month in Okaloosa County, in the Florida panhandle.
'Moving from California. I am single divorced and have two grown children who are overseas in UK. I have been practicing residential real estate for 13 years in Los Angeles/Westside.
'I have also lived in Florida in the past few years and I'm excited to reintroduce Florida back into my life permanently. Renting a room will be a great start settling me in. Furnished is preferred.'
On her LinkedIn, she describes herself as: 'Luxury Property Specialist at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties'.
She has previously been arrested for driving while intoxicated after crashing her car into a tree in California.
Law enforcement officials told TMZ that sheriff's deputies arrived on the scene of her crash on November 10 and asked Cornwall whether she needed any medical help. She said she did not and was merely trying to get her car 'unstuck.'
A police report then say she became belligerent and refuse to ID herself.
'Once we stopped her she tried to fight us,' the sheriff's report reads, noting she 'went after EMS and Fire' crews.
'At that point, she was detailed for her safety and ours.'
Deputies also write that her breath smelled of alcohol, she had slurred speech and her face was flushed.
She reportedly refused to take a breathalyzer and failed the field sobriety test before she was taken into custody on DUI charges.
Cornwall is due back in court on January 5.
A survey undertaken last month found 85 percent of flight attendants had been confronted by unruly passengers during the pandemic, the New York Post reported.
It also found that nearly one in five had been attacked.
The FAA has received more than 5,000 complaints about unruly passengers so far this year, and has investigated more than 1,000 incidents - five times more than in 2020.
Unruly airline passengers in at least 37 incidents could be charged with assault for attacking crew members or other fliers after the FAA announced referrals the federal agency made to the FBI for possible prosecution.
An FAA spokesman said in November that the agency has initiated 227 enforcement cases and referred 37 to the FBI for review. The agency did not identify any individuals.
Through November 1, there had been 5,033 reports of unruly passenger incidents, including 3,642 related to pandemic face covering regulations.
'Let this serve both as a warning and a deterrent: If you disrupt a flight, you risk not just fines from the FAA but federal criminal prosecution as well,' FAA Administrator Steve Dickson said at the time.
