A Florida airport incident ended in arrests on Tuesday when a couple refused to disembark from an American Airlines flight after the crew raised concerns about a man’s bloodied head.
Eugenio Ernesto Hernandez-Garnier, 27, and his wife, Yusleydis Blanca Loyola, 32, were forcibly removed from their Las Vegas-bound flight at Miami International Airport, reported the New York Post.Hernandez-Garnier boarded the plane with a visibly bloody head and a bandage that appeared to be falling off, according to a live TikTok video posted by Loyola.
Crew members initially requested Hernandez-Garnier clean the blood and replace his bandages, which he claimed he did not have. They soon decided to ask him to leave the plane, citing health and contamination concerns. When Hernandez-Garnier and Loyola refused to comply, citing various reasons, the crew called for police intervention.
The situation escalated when police arrived and attempted to escort the couple off the plane. The couple continued to resist, leading to their arrest, reported the New York Post. Loyola was heard on TikTok yelling in Spanish, explaining that the blood was from recent surgery. Meanwhile, fellow passengers, who were also asked to deplane due to the health risk, cheered as the couple was escorted away.
Both Hernandez-Garnier and Loyola were first taken to the hospital for evaluation before being booked at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. Loyola’s mugshot shows her in a hospital gown, while Hernandez-Garnier’s shows blood on his head. The couple faces charges of trespassing after a warning and resisting an officer without violence.
