Airline workers told Vergara she could not travel that way and asked her to leave, NOLA.com reported. She refused.
By the time a deputy arrived, Vergara had donned a dress, the news site said. She was still cited for violating public decency laws, however, because she was allegedly wearing no underwear, leaving her genital area visible beneath the short dress.
Vergara refused deputies’ commands to leave the airport, authorities said. She fought with them as she was taken into custody, NOLA.com reported.
Jefferson Parish jail records show Vergara was booked early Saturday on charges of obscenity, entering or remaining after being forbidden, resisting an officer, battery of a police officer and simple battery.
While jailed, she was charged Thursday with two additional crimes: resisting an officer by violence and battery of a corrections officer.
Details of those charges were not immediately available, NOLA.com said.
