PRESQUE ISLE — Presque Isle police say a woman was kicked off a flight that was preparing to leave Northern Maine Regional Airport after she caused a disturbance on the plane.

Police say Marangely Torres, 21, of Brockton, Mass., “became disruptive” before boarding the Boston-bound plane on Saturday. They say she eventually calmed down and was allowed on the flight, but then started causing problems again.

Police say the pilot brought the plane back to the gate, where an officer boarded the plane and removed Torres.

The Bangor Daily News reported that Torres was summoned for disorderly conduct and released. She is due in court June 20.

A telephone listing for Torres was out of service Saturday.

According to an online flight status report, the plane was delayed for about 25 minutes.
