Lady who thought partner was off to see another woman scaled barbed-wire fence to stop plane

No charges are expected against a woman who scaled a barbed-wire fence surrounding Halifax Stanfield International Airport in Canada and ran onto the tarmac on Sunday morning in an attempt to prevent a plane from taking off, RCMP in Nova Scotia said.
The 37-year-old woman reportedly believed her partner was onboard an aircraft en route to see another woman, and was trying to stop its departure. RCMP arrested the woman at around 8:30am after she scaled the three-meter barbed-wire fence surrounding the airport and ran across the tarmac to stop a plane she believed was carrying her husband from taking off.
The Fall River-area woman, first went to an airline counter asking the company to stop one of its planes because she believed her partner was leaving to see another woman, an employee at the airport said. The employee did not want to be identified because it might compromise his position. The woman then drove toward the hangar and climbed the fence. “She ended up going onto the bigger runway and she was essentially wandering around there,” the employee said.
“She was literally going to try to stop the plane.” An airport authority worker got the woman into a truck. Another subdued her after she opened the door of the vehicle and began shouting, the employee said. The woman, who sustained several minor cuts, was taken to hospital for an assessment, said RCMP spokesman Sgt. Alain LeBlanc. “I’ve been there (for more than) eight … years and this is the first incident of its kind that I’m aware of,” he said. “We contacted her partner who indicated that he was not on the aircraft,” LeBlanc added.
