According to the arrest report from the Sanford Airport Police, which was examined by PEOPLE, Crampton was detained by police after an alleged outburst that occurred on an Allegiant Airlines flight that was headed for Hagerstown, Md. on Monday, May 26.
Kristy Crampton was arrested and charged with felony child abuse after allegedly “smacking” a child on a flight departing Sanford-Orlando International Airport in Sanford, Fla.
The pilot on board the flight called the police and asked them to respond to allegations of a “disturbance.”
When the officer arrived, Crampton and other members of her party had exited the plane and were “walking away from the gate” after “voluntarily” deplaning.
Speaking to police, Crampton allegedly said that she struck out after the child called her “fat” and “Miss Piggy,” the latter being a reference to the Muppets character of the same name.
She allegedly told police that she took away their phone but resorted to physical violence after the child continued to misbehave. According to witnesses, she used her fist and a water bottle to strike them.
Crampton also allegedly “slammed” their head into the window. During the attack, the victim reportedly attempted to protect themself from her blows by covering their head.
