In Honolulu (Hawaii), a woman, Kristin Sharp, a 34-year-old real estate agent, is at serious risk for having used her e-cigarette and assaulting a hostess on a plane between Las Vegas and Honolulu.
So it's on a flight Allegiant Air connecting Las Vegas to Honolulu Thursday afternoon that the incident took place. According to witnesses on the spot, Kristin Sharp was using an e-cigarette on the gangway in Las Vegas before entering the plane and a flight attendant asked her to put it away which she did. This is what the main interested party confided ” He asked me to stop vaping, so I stopped vaping and put my e-cigarette in the bottom of my purse"
But it's after everything has degenerated, when Kristin Sharp used his e-cigarette on the plane again. The flight attendants allegedly asked him again to stop and were assaulted. According to witnesses, Kristin Sharp « was drunk and allegedly threw his e-cigarette and a half-filled soda at the flight attendants before threatening and insulting them". The accused denies this version, for her there was indeed an altercation but she declares that the steward did not need to react in this way " I think he had a bad day and he had a bad attitude with me". As for the assault, Kristin Sharp said “ It cannot be true. I didn't want to throw it at him. I was trying to aim for the trash that was next to him"
In the end, the vaper and her boyfriend were moved for the rest of the trip and had the good surprise of being greeted by the FBI on arrival. Sources said the FBI asked questions 
to crew members and passengers, federal authorities could launch a criminal charge early next week. If the story seems harmless, we do not laugh on planes in the United States and the offender would risk up to 20 years for interfering in the work of a flight attendant and having assaulted him.
The airline has also made a statement ” FAA regulations prohibit the use of e-cigarettes on board an aircraft, and also require all passengers to comply with crewmembers' instructions to ensure the safety of everyone on board. »
If the FBI released the suspect pending further investigation, the companion of Kristin Sharp did not hesitate to denounce this procedure: " The reaction that took place is totally disproportionate, she is not a criminal, she was just tired and a little cranky. Besides, the steward really did not do what was necessary to defuse the situation. »
