As what seemed from the video, it was absolute chaos! A man donning a jersey of Michael Jordan, rushed and punched a person from behind. On the other, the airport had its own WWE TLC match going on. A woman was holding the lid of a garbage can and smashing people on the head and body.

According to reports, two people were arrested based on the video evidence online. The entire WWE-like madness took place in near the baggage claim, in the second terminal. Authorities charged two individuals, Dominique Henry and Edward Lavell Triplett. They were charged with third-degree riot, two counts of fifth-degree assault, and disorderly conduct.

Dominique Henry was cleared of all charges after her attorney suggested that she acted in defense. According to the reports, a man was punching her daughters, which led to taking the extreme action. Triplett was sentenced to four days in jail along with community service. He also had to pay a fine of $400!
