Jennifer Holder, 27, was caught on video spraying a fire extinguisher 
after a confrontation with airport staff.

Witnesses say workers approached Holder after she skipped out on her 
dinner tab, according to reports.

The Ohio-native faces six charges, including obstructing law enforcement, 
records say.

A traveler was arrested at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International 
Airport on Tuesday after police said she sprayed employees with a fire 
extinguisher.

Ohio-native Jennifer Holder, 27, faces charges of obstructing law 
enforcement officers, two counts of simple assault, and three counts of 
simple battery following her run-in with flight attendants and police 
officers, according to Atlanta Police Department records.

Witnesses said the incident began when Holder allegedly dined and dashed 
on her bill from Buffalo Wild Wings, according to Inside Edition.

The Atlanta Police Department said in a news release officers responded to 
a report that a "suspicious female" was attempting to open secured doors 
inside the airport on Tuesday night.

At some point, Holder got her hands on a fire extinguisher and unleashed 
plumes of chemicals in the busy area, according to the report. The 
incident was caught on camera and shared widely on social media.

In the video, the woman can be seen arguing with airport staff and 
eventually spraying at least one of them directly in the face with the 
extinguisher.

"She's a terrorist," the cameraman shouted.

Police said they were able to apprehend the Ohioan despite her "combative" 
nature, according to the news release. She reportedly continued to exhibit 
erratic behavior in police custody.

"Officers relocated the arrestee, Ms. Holder to the precinct where she 
continued to behave erratically and combative, by spitting and kicking at 
officers," officials wrote.

Holder was taken to Clayton County Jail and is currently being held on a 
$19,500 bond and will be required to pay $3,150 in additional fees, jail 
records show.

According to the National Capital Poison Control Center, fire 
extinguishers generally have "some risk for mild respiratory, skin, or eye 
irritation." However, intentionally harmful use may intensify these 
symptoms and would require medical attention.

Three flight attendants were treated by emergency medical services after 
complaints or respiratory discomfort, and have all been cleared, per the 
news release.
