NV - Foster mother charged for abusing 6-month-old during Las Vegas inbound flight, 12 July 2022 *case dismissed*

[imstilla.grandma]

A woman from Oregon who was on a flight headed to Las Vegas is facing a charge of child abuse after allegations of a mid-flight incident involving her six-month-old infant.

Las Vegas police said they received a call on Tuesday, July 12, just after 6:30 p.m. of an inbound Southwest flight reporting the incident.

According to an arrest report, the passenger, now identified as Tiffany Brooks, is accused of holding her daughter on her lap while violently jerking the baby, smashing her legs against the aircraft seat and wall.

Brooks was then seen trying to quiet the infant by allegedly pressing a blanket over her face, the report stated.

She was also accused of becoming so angry because the infant would not stop crying that she started shaking her in an up and down and side-to-side motion, according to a witness account.

Brooks was later arrested and taken to the Clark County Detention Center but has since been released, according to jail record.

@imstilla.grandma - if you can find how old she is - it will help in my notes. The court site doesn't have her birth date. TIA!

I still haven't found how old she is - anyone?

 

[TwoLea]

I found what appeared to be her FB page (joint with another person) , not sure if i can link but search her name and Oregon on fb and it should pop up.

Yes, it certainly looks like her, including the tats in her mugshot. I’m hesitant to post the FB link since it includes her significant other, but based on his info and doing a search on True People Search, I’m going to go out on a limb and say Tiffany is 42 years old and lives in Sweet Home Oregon. I was surprised at her age, but all the pieces fit. Naturally JMO, MOO etc.

ETA: I reported my post and asked if we could post the FB page (I linked it).

ADMIN NOTE:

The FB page referred to above may not be linked or discussed because it appears to be shared between 2 people, and only one of them is charged in this case.

 

[caradana]

Bravo to the Southwest team, the witnesses and all involved in reporting this and quite likely saving that baby from significant future injury.
