The Florence County Sheriff’s Office reported an “indecent exposure incident” occurred after noon when “a partially clothed woman sprinted through the airport’s runway and into a nearby wooded area.
Two American Airlines flights were canceled, one scheduled to land in Florence and another departing from the airport destined for Charlotte.
Florence Regional Airport Public Safety Officer Lee Marsh said the airport was closed for more than 2 hours while law enforcement searched for the woman who was wearing only underwear.
As flights circled overhead, the woman was eventually found by K-9 units hiding in a storm ditch.
We flew from Charlotte and had to circle around for an hour and a half. Just landed back in Charlotte with no available seats left for the remainder of the day, a woman said on Facebook.
Felony charges should be brought against this lady for disrupting so many passengers. Who’s call was it to shut down an entire airport?
But charges are not expected to be filed, according to Major Michael Nunn of the Florence County Sheriff’s Office.
The woman was taken to an area hospital for a mental evaluation, the TV station reported.
