The actress, 54, was investigated by the FBI following the alleged altercation on the flight. Two flight attendants were injured, with one taken to the hospital. Blair was arrested and taken to a hospital after landing, where she allegedly kicked a police officer and assaulted a nurse, prosecutors allege. She has pleaded not guilty to two counts of second-degree assault and her bail was set at $20,000 cash or $60,000 bond. The judge scheduled her next hearing for January 19. The incident reportedly occurred around 11:00 PM local time aboard Delta Airlines Flight 938. Air traffic control audio showed the pilot requesting medical personnel due to a \"bloody nose as well as some bite marks.\" Delta Air Lines stated that they have zero tolerance for unruly behavior and that the safety of passengers and crew is their priority. Blair has a history of incidents on flights, including a drunken outburst in 2016 that required two nurses to subdue her. She has previously apologized for her actions and acknowledged her flaws as a human being.",
