 A defiant couple disrupted a Delta flight Wednesday evening soon after it left Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport for Los Angeles, causing an upheaval that forced the airliner back to the Twin Cities. 
 
 Police led the man and woman off the plane as fellow passengers jeered, prompting the man to take a swing at one of the passengers, a witness said. 
 
 Flight 2565 left about 6:20 p.m. only to show up back at the Twin Cities airport at 7:35 p.m., said MSP spokesman Patrick Hogan. 
 
 Delta spokesman Ashton Morrow said that the couple “became aggressive and created a disruption in the cabin.” 
 
 Neither spokesman was able to say what got the man and woman riled up in the first place. A passenger who shot video of the episode said the woman wanted to use the bathroom, but became agitated after being ordered back to her seat. 
 
 Airport police identified the man as Blake A. Fleisig, 35, of Los Angeles, and the woman as Anna C. Koosmann, 36, of Edina. Court and jail records also list her as being from Los Angeles.

 Koosmann was cited for disorderly conduct and obstructing the legal process. Fleisig was cited for disorderly conduct. Both were booked in jail and released. Several messages were left Thursday for both Fleisig and Koosmann seeking their response to the allegations. 
 
 Once the airliner returned to the Minneapolis airport, several police officers came aboard to escort the two away, a video shot by a passenger and posted on YouTube showed. 
 
 Patrick Whalen, a concert tour staging executive who shot the 98-second video from the plane’s first row while on a business trip, said Koosmann was upset because a flight attendant told her she couldn’t use the bathroom in the flight’s first few minutes. 
 
 The flight captain twice said over the intercom that the people in back needed to return to their seats, Whalen said. 
 
 His orders ignored, the captain warned, “ ‘If you don’t sit down, we’re going to turn the flight around,’ ” Whalen said. 
 
 And sure enough, Whalen said, he could feel the plane swing around and head east back to the Twin Cities. 
 
 Passengers taunted and jeered the couple, not handcuffed at this point, as officers led them off, Whalen said. 
 
 It was amid the verbal barbs, just when it looked like the commotion in the plane had subsided, that Fleisig “punches one of the passengers,” Whalen said. 
 
 Officers took Fleisig to the floor and shouted “stay down!” along with other commands, Whalen’s video showed. 
 
 “Her boyfriend attacked somebody back there,” one passenger could be heard saying. 
 
 As Koosmann was led by police off the plane, one of the officers said, “You’re already going to jail.” 
 
 Koosmann replied, “Why? For what? For what?” 
 
 Whalen, a former Minnesotan who worked with Prince for several years and now lives in Los Angeles, said he got in his own verbal jab at Koosmann as she passed by. 
 
 “ ‘You’re going to be famous,’ ” he recalled telling her. 
 
 Applause broke out once the two were gone from the airliner, and the resumed flight reached the gate in Los Angeles about 2¼ hours late, according to flightaware.com, a flight-tracking website. ||||| An unruly couple was marched off a Delta flight in handcuffs after their behavior caused the plane to turn around 20 minutes after takeoff. 
 
 Wednesday night’s 6:20 p.m. trip from Minneapolis to Los Angeles quickly returned to the Twin Cities after the airline said that the pair “refused to follow crew instructions, became aggressive and created a disruption.” 
 
 Both Blake Adam Fleisig and Anna Christine Koosmann were arrested and face disorderly conduct charges. 
 
 A passenger on the flight told KMSP that the disruption started after Koosmann got up to use the bathroom shortly after the plane took off, and did not listen to crew members telling her to go back to her seat.

 Delta Air Lines and airport police did not respond to questions about what exactly led to the passengers being upset. 
 
 Video of the incident posted online shows the couple being escorted off the aircraft, with the 36-year-old woman swearing and saying “Why? For what? For what?” 
 
 One passenger in the clip says the 35-year-old Fleisig, whose LinkedIn page says he works as a vice president at finance firm Citi in New York City, had attacked someone while being removed.

 Airport spokesman Patrick Hogan told the Daily News that Fleisig was booked and released at the airport, but that Koosmann was taken to the county detention center for booking after she was "uncooperative."

 A couple caught in a sex act on a Detroit-bound passenger jet last month not only tried to hide their activity with a blanket, but pulled it off while a man was sleeping in the same row next to them, according to a police report obtained by the Free Press. 
 
 As one passenger wrote in a witness statement: "I felt bad for the guy beside them, but I guess he was sleeping." 
 
 What he slept through was an incident that triggered an FBI investigation: A "highly intoxicated" woman was performing oral sex on a man in Row 26, triggering complaints from nearby passengers in other rows who caught on to what was going on. The woman in particular was less than cooperative, a police report said, noting she "yelled and screamed" and was "continuously disruptive" after being hauled off to an airport jail cell.

 These are some of the details involving the Oct. 29 incident, which was documented in a 9-page police report obtained by the Free Press under the Freedom of Information Act. The Wayne Metro Airport Police Department, which responded to the incident, said both the man and women received citations from the FBI for lewd and lascivious behavior and for disorderly conduct. 
 
 According to the police report, the 48-year-old California woman and 28-year-old man met on the Delta Air Lines flight between Los Angeles and Detroit. The woman's seat was not in his row, but she switched her seat so that she could be next to him. 
 
 At about 3:30 pm, the airport police at Detroit Metro received a report about two passengers having intercourse on the plane. "Per dispatch, the female involved was reported to be highly intoxicated," the report said. 
 
 When the plane landed at Detroit Metro, two police officers entered the plane. One of them spoke with the man, who said that the woman "had fallen asleep in his lap but that they did not have intercourse." He stated that he only "grabbed her breasts on the outside of her clothes." 
 
 An officer then questioned the woman, whose eyes were "bloodshot and red." 
 
 Both passengers were handcuffed and led away. The FBI was en route. 
 
 In the end, both passengers were issued citations based on passengers' witness statements, including one person who wrote that they "went to the row and witnessed the lady in the man's lap performing felatio. ... they had a blanket partially covering the 'act.' I asked for boarding cards and names." 
 
 The woman sat straight up in her seat. "He tried to apologize." 
 
 Police allowed both passengers to get their luggage. They tried to help the woman re-book her flight, but Delta said no. Security informed her she was "not permitted to fly Delta." 
 
 She left the next day, on another flight, without incident. 
 
 The Free Press is not naming the individuals as they were not charged. 
 
 As legal expert Peter Henning previously noted: “It’s certainly distasteful, but it was not disruptive or interfering with the operation of the plane. ... The embarrassment is probably the biggest punishment they can receive.”

 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - 
 
 A Delta Airlines flight from LaGuardia to Palm Beach International Airport was diverted to Jacksonville when a passenger got into a dispute over a reclining seat. 
 
 Delta Flight 2370 departed at about 7 p.m. Monday, en route to West Palm Beach. According to Delta Airlines, the flight was diverted "due to safety reasons in regard to a passenger issue." 
 
 Passenger Aaron Klipin said described what happened. 
 
 "This woman sitting next to me knitting tried reclining her seat back, the woman behind her started screaming and swearing. The flight attendant came over and that exacerbated what was going on. She demanded the flight land," said Klipin. 
 
 Klipin said the woman who was agitated -- later identified as 32-year-old Amy Fine -- claimed she had her head down on the tray table trying sleep. 
 
 "She said something to the effect of, 'I don't care about the consequences, put this plane down now,'" said Klipin. "She started swearing at the flight attendants and demanding the flight land. The flight attendant spoke to the captain while somebody was blocking her path to the cabin. A few minutes later an announcement came on that we were diverting to Jacksonville." 
 
 According to the Jacksonville Aviation Authority police report, Fine, 32, of Boca Raton, was escorted off the plane, interviewed, then released. 
 
 According to the report, Fine said she was hit on the head with the seat in front of her reclined, and they "did have words," but claims she was not disruptive. 
 
 All three flight attendants were interviewed, telling police Fine was "disruptive and very loud," demanding that they land the plane immediately. 
 
 One flight attendant police that Fine told him to, "Eat (expletive) and die." 
 
 In her interview, Fine told officers she just had two dogs die and she was very emotional. 
 
 The Delta flight continued on to West Palm Beach, arriving after 11 p.m. Airport officials said they consulted with the FBI, then Fine was released and allowed to board a different flight. 
 
 This incident would be the third reported flight diversion caused by passenger disruption in the last few weeks. 
 
 Arguments over reclining seats contributed to two incidents last week. A Miami to Paris flight landed in Boston Wednesday, after air marshals on the plane restrained a man who fought with a passenger trying to recline in front of him, according to authorities. 
 
 Before that incident, a man on a United Airlines flight used a product called a Knee Defender to keep the seat in front of him from reclining. The woman in front, unable to recline, got into an argument with the man and reportedly threw a cup of water in his face. Both passengers were seated in United’s Economy Plus section, which gives fliers extra legroom for an extra fee. 
 
 That argument prompted the Newark, New Jersey-to-Denver flight to be diverted to Chicago, according to United Airlines, adding that the unidentified passengers were not allowed back on when the plane continued on to Denver.
– If the pilot of your plane tells you over the intercom he's going to turn the plane around if you don't sit down, it's probably best to take a seat. But per the Star Tribune, a woman flying on Delta from Minneapolis to Los Angeles on Wednesday apparently didn't take such a warning seriously, and she and a man with her were arrested after the plane swung back to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The flight crew had called ahead to cops about 20 minutes after takeoff, KTRK reports, with a Delta spokesman telling the Star Tribune the couple had "[become] aggressive and created a disruption in the cabin." The rep didn't say what allegedly set off either 35-year-old Blake Fleisig or 36-year-old Anna Koosmann, but a passenger who shot video of part of the incident says Koosmann got irritated when she was told she had to stay seated and couldn't use the bathroom just a few minutes into the flight. The video shot by Patrick Whalen from the plane's front row shows police leading Fleisig and Koosmann down the aisle of the plane to disembark while other annoyed passengers take verbal swipes at them—until Fleisig punches another passenger, per Whalen. Cops can be seen bringing Fleisig to the floor and yelling at him to "stay down." As the two are finally led off the plane, an officer says to Koosmann, "You're already going to jail," to which she replies, "Why? For what? For what?" The two were hit with disorderly conduct charges (Koosmann also was charged with obstructing the legal process), and an airport rep tells the New York Daily News Fleisig was booked and released right at the airport, while Koosmann remained "uncooperative" and was taken to a local detention center.
