Completely nude traveler refuses to leave New Orleans airport after being told she couldn’t fly, gets arrested.
Mariel Vergara, 27(Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office)
Many passengers like to wear a few layers when they fly – both to maximize luggage space and just in case it gets chilly up there.
And then there are the hardy souls who take traveling light to a whole new level.
Mariel Vergara of Pueblo, Colorado, is undeniably one of the latter.
The 27-year-old turned heads Friday night, April 3, when she strolled into New Orleans’s Louis Armstrong International Airport as naked as the day she was born.
Vergara then airily ambled up to the Spirit Airlines ticket counter and tried to book a flight, Nola.com reports.
Airline officials told the raw rover she wouldn’t be able to travel due to her invisible attire.
However, when asked to leave the airport she refused.
Vergara had already put on a dress by the time deputies arrived, according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office.
Yet she was still deemed to be in violation of public decency laws, as she was not wearing underwear and the dress was too short to cover her private parts.
Ignoring orders to leave, Vergara tussled with deputies as she was taken into custody.
She was charged with obscenity, resisting arrest, battery of a police officer, simple battery and remaining in a place after being forbidden.
Vergara was rearrested Thursday and booked with battery of a corrections officer and resisting an officer by force or violence.
