ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A federal grand jury in Anchorage has indicted a 56-year-old Hawaii woman on a misdemeanour charge of assaulting a flight attendant.

Loeffler says Lee also used profane language to threaten the flight attendant.

Prosecutors say the maximum penalty for a conviction is six months in jail and a $5,000 fine.

The FBI and Anchorage airport police investigated the incident.
