   SACRAMENTO -- A woman was arrested and charged after she   
   threatened to kill fellow passengers on a Southwest Airlines   
   flight from Portland to Sacramento. The chaotic scene was   
   captured on video that a fellow passenger sent to CBS Sacramento.   
      
   The incident on Saturday began after a woman attempted to smoke   
   in the airplane bathroom and alter the smoke detector, according   
   to airline officials.   
      
   The passenger who shot the video said the woman was ordered back   
   to her seat but began yelling irrationally, threatening to kill   
   everyone on board, and demanding that the plane land. He said   
   she pushed a flight attendant and had to be physically   
   restrained by passengers and crew for the remaining 30 minutes   
   of the flight.   
      
   Valerie Curbelo, 24, was arrested at the gate when the plane   
   landed, and she was taken to Sacramento County Jail and charged   
   with making criminal threats.   
      
   Southwest Airlines sent a statement to CBS Portland affiliate   
   KOIN-TV saying 136 customers were onboard the flight, which   
   landed safely following the incident. The company said a   
   passenger "violated federal laws by both smoking onboard an   
   aircraft and by tampering with a smoke detector in an aircraft   
   restroom".   
      
   Speaking to CBS Sacramento, Curbelo said her anxiety led to her   
   decision to smoke in the restroom. "The anxiety, yeah the   
   anxiety," Curbelo said without elaborating. She did not explain   
   why she threatened to kill everyone. "I don't know," she said.   
   "It was not me. It was not me."   
      
   Cabello is from Sandy, Oregon, just outside of Portland. She   
   wouldn't discuss why she was flying to Sacramento.
