Drunk mum who reduced cabin crew to tears after launching into vile rant over short delay avoids jail
A DRUNK mum who reduced cabin crew to tears after launching into a vile rant over a short delay has avoided jail.
Lauren Beaumont-Capps kicked off after being told she would have to get off the plane via the front entrance.
The 40-year-old, who was sat at the back of the Jet2 flight to Manchester from Turkey, branded two air stewards "stupid c***s".
She also falsely claimed her dad was a Detective Chief Inspector after downing four wines and demanded: "Get me off this f**king plane".
After being warned about her language, Beaumont-Capps got 2cm from stewardess Teri Grumbridge's face and ranted: "So f**king what?
"You can't tell me what to do. Why don't you f**king f**k off Teri?

"What evidence have you got? F**king good luck to you I don't know what you are going to do because my dad is a DCI."
Ms Grumbridge was left shaking after the tirade, while her colleague burst into tears.
Beaumont-Capps admitted being drunk on an aircraft and using threatening behaviour but swerved a jail sentence.
She was instead handed a 12-month community order after a judge said the drama unfolded when the plane was already safely parked up with passengers waiting to disembark.

Minshull Street Crown Court heard the dental worker was returning home from working as an "affiliate" at a Turkey teeth clinic in Antalya.
The plane had been delayed 30 minutes but safely touched down at Manchester Airport on January 13.
After being told she would need to exit through the front door, Beaumont-Capps flipped.
One cabin crew worker phoned her manager, who then alerted police to escort the raging mum off the plane.
In a victim impact statement, the air stewardess said: "I have been flying as a member of cabin crew for eight years and this is the first time I have been verbally abused in such a way.
''This incident made me feel quite uncomfortable and I am now apprehensive about flying again as I have a few more fllghts planned from Antalya and I am worried that something like this might happen again.
''I was also concerned for Teri and the fact she also got upset afterwards. I also feel quite embarrassed as this female made unfounded remarks about our professionalism.''
As well as a community order, Beaumont-Capps was ordered to wear a sobriety tag, told to complete ten rehabilitation activity days and fined £475.
Sentencing, Recorder Anna Vigars KC told Beaumont-Capps: ''It was extremely unpleasant and frightening for the cabin crew but I bear in mind the fact this happened whilst the plane was on the ground and safely at the stand. There was no danger to the flight.

''Had this behaviour happened whilst the flight was in the air or even taxiing towards the stand I would have without hesitation have imposed an immediate custodial sentence because of the danger you would have caused to others.
"But because of your son and your medical conditions and previous good character I can step back from that.''
