SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec. 2, 2024 (Gephardt Daily) — A 24-year-old woman was escorted off a Delta flight Sunday at Salt Lake City International Airport after she allegedly yelled at fellow passengers, then caused a disturbance at a TRAX platform, then ran onto the tracks to evade police.
TRAX trains were halted as the officers chased her; then the woman — identified in charging documents as Trinity Nicole Lee — allegedly resisted officers trying to take her into custody, says a probable cause statement filed by an officer of the Salt Lake City Police Department.
Lee “continued yelling at officers while being taken into custody,” court documents say. When officers tried to cuff her, she “pulled her arms in, went rigid, and failed to comply with officers attempting to place her in handcuffs.”
The affidavit says that while officers conducted an inventory of the wallet in Lee’s possession, “several credit cards, benefit cards, identification cards, and social security cards belonging to someone else were located in a wallet in her possession.”
Officers contacted the owner of the wallet, and the “victim stated her wallet was stolen from a beach in San Francisco, California approximately two weeks” prior.
Lee was booked into the Salt Lake County jail system for investigation of:
- Unlawful acquire/possess/transfer financial card, a third-degree felony
- Unlawfully possess ID of another, documents of 3-99 individuals, a third-degree felony
- Interference with an arresting officer, a class B misdemeanor
- Disorderly conduct, an infraction
If the case goes to trial, charges will be determined by the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office.
Lee “is transient and was at the SLC Airport attempting to return to her home state of Minnesota,” her arrest documents say. She was ordered held without bail.
