MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — Three women faced charges on Monday after deputies arrested them at Miami International Airport during a conflict with Frontier employees while they attempted to fly home to Philadelphia.

Nafisa Dockery, Davana Cochran, and Dionjana Cochran were at the gate to board flight F9-1204 on Sunday night when they refused to pay for a carry-on bag, according to deputies.

“We don’t have to listen; let’s just go,” Dockery, 30, told both Davana and Dionjana Cochran, according to Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies’ arrest report.

Dockery, Davana Cochran, 26, and Dionjana Cochran, 21, defied Frontier employees’ warnings that they were not allowed to board the plane and refused to evacuate, according to deputies.

Frontier employees told deputies that the women’s boarding passes had been denied, their tickets had been canceled, and they were trespassing, according to the M-DSO deputy’s arrest report.

M-DSO deputies evacuated the plane, which caused the flight to be delayed for about an hour, according to the arrest report.

As she walked off the plane, Dockery “spat on” a Frontier employee, according to deputies.

Once off the plane, Dockery and the Cochran “refused to comply’ with deputies’ orders, so there was ”a brief struggle" during their arrests, according to deputies.

After deputies arrested them at 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, corrections booked Dockery and Davana Cochran shortly before 4 a.m. and Dionjana Cochran shortly after 4:10 a.m. on Monday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

The three women faced charges of resisting arrest and trespass after warning. Dockery also faced a charge of battery.
