Alexandria, VA- A North Carolina woman is facing charges in Virginia for allegedly assaulting a Federal Air Marshal during a flight to Dulles International Airport this past weekend.

On February 22, Dana Mustafa, 27, was on board a flight that departed from Frankfurt, Germany, when fight attendants were alerted to the activation of a flight lavatory smoke detector. Flight attendants saw Mustafa in the lavatory smoking and told her smoking was not allowed on the aircraft.

Court documents say Mustafa was crying and told flight attendants that she was returning home to see family because they died in a car accident.

A Federal Air Marshal then saw Mustafa leave her seat and walked to the rear of the plane towards the bathroom. A flight attendant tried to stop Mustafa when she pushed the flight attendant and tried to close the bathroom door. Federal Air Marshals intervened at which time Mustafa became combative and was resisting being handcuffed. Court documents also say she yelled and kicked at the Federal Air Marshals.

When Mustafa was relocated next to a Federal Air Marshal, court documents say she said: "I’m going to stab everyone on this plane. Then kill myself. I’m Palestinian! That’s how we get down."

When the plane landed at Dulles Airport, court documents say Mustafa was interviewed by an FBI agent and allegedly said the story about her family being killed was a lie. 

Mustafa is charged with assaulting a federal officer. She faces up to 8 years in prison if convicted.

“I reached out to the other. The mother cam and said it was okay because the last thing I wanted to do was to get rejected by a second grader. So her mom talked to her about it,and the next day I formally asked if she’d be my date to the daddy-daughter dance,” he said.

Avey said yes! The duo coordinated their outfits, took pictures, and even rode in a limo to get pizza before the big event.

“It meant a lot because I actually got to go and see all my friends there and then I got to go with him and have a lot of fun,” said Avey.

Corporal Harvey has three daughters, but they all aged out of the daddy-daughter dance. He said he looks forward to going to them again now with his new friend, Avey.

Detective Chase McKeown and Officer Nicole McKeown of Elizabethtown Police Department were on a weekly date night on February 15 at the Raising Cane restaurant when they were alerted of something going wrong.

The suspect, Justin Carter, is seen in the video running out the restaurant while the couple chased after him.

The McKeowns chased Carter through downtown Louisville and arrested him with the help of local police officers.

Elizabethtown PD praised the officers' "courageous and selfless" actions in a proud post on the department’s Instagram, adding the hashtag "#couplegoals."

Arlington, TX- A 15-year-old boy from Texas is charged with murder after he allegedly killed a 16-year-old who stopped him from assaulting another teenager.

Officials say the 15-year-old suspect confronted 16-year-old Samuel Reynolds in the hallway of the Pinewoods Apartments in Arlington, Texas.

Surveillance footage captured the suspect pulling a .40 caliber gun and shooting Reynolds. Reynolds later died and the teen was arrested and charged with murder.

Police say a few days prior to the shooting, Reynolds saw the suspect bullying another student and sopped the assault.

“It’s just so senseless. It’s so tragic. It could’ve been avoided,” said Christopher Cook with the Arlington Police Department. “Our victim had broke up a fight a few days prior between what he described as a smaller boy, who was kind of being picked on. After he broke up the fight, he started having some trouble with the suspect,” Cook said.

Police say they will prosecute the person who is responsible for giving the 15-year-old access to a gun.

Police didn’t release a lot of information about the alleged shooter because he is underage, but they say he is a middle school student.
