Ohio Woman Allegedly Sprays Police and Staff With Fire Extinguisher at Atlanta Airport

An Ohio woman was arrested after allegedly causing a disturbance at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport by spraying employees and police with a fire extinguisher. The incident involved Jennifer Kaye Holder, 27, who was dining at Buffalo Wild Wings when the situation escalated.

Refusal to Pay Leads to Confrontation

Holder reportedly refused to pay for her meal, which led staff to confront her about the bill around 9:30 p.m. on Concourse D. Videos shared on social media show Holder arguing with restaurant staff and claiming someone else had already paid for her food.

Fire Extinguisher Used During Incident

The situation intensified when Holder began acting erratically and attempted to access secured areas of the airport. She was seen holding a fire extinguisher during the incident and sprayed an airport employee and security officers with it. Nearby flight attendants reported experiencing respiratory discomfort from the extinguisher discharge.

Arrest and Charges

Holder was eventually taken into custody and transported to Clayton County Jail. Police report that she was combative during the arrest and now faces multiple charges, including three counts of simple battery, obstructing law enforcement officers, and two counts of simple assault.
