GRAND FORKS, N.D. — A Bemidji, Minn., woman has been indicted by a federal grand jury for interference with flight crew members and attendants after an incident on an Allegiant Air flight in January.
Court documents show that Jody Sherry-Berg, 64, was arrested in Minnesota on Tuesday on a warrant from North Dakota. She was released on a personal recognizance bond after a court appearance. She is scheduled to be arraigned on April 21 in Grand Forks.
The indictment, unsealed Wednesday, alleges Sherry-Berg “did knowingly interfere with the performance of the duties of J.M., a flight crew member or flight attendant … by assaulting and intimidating … J.M. by grabbing J.M’s genitals,” on a flight from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas to Grand Forks International Airport on Jan. 16.
Initially, Sherry-Berg was charged in state court with providing false information to law enforcement, after she allegedly gave a false name to Grand Forks police officers responding to the report of the assault. Those charges were dismissed on April 3, following the federal indictment.
A message left for Sherry-Berg was not immediately returned Wednesday.
