Woman accused of groping TSA agent at Phoenix airportFlier allegedly grabbed the breast of a security agent at an airport checkpoint
Authorities say a Colorado woman who allegedly groped a female Transportation Security Administration agent at Phoenix's international airport is facing a felony count of sexual abuse.
Phoenix police say 61-year-old Yukari Mihamae is accused of grabbing the left breast of the unidentified TSA agent Thursday at an airport checkpoint.
Police say Mihamae squeezed and twisted the agent's breast with both hands. They say she later admitted to doing it but didn't give a reason.
The TSA as a policy does not release the identities of individuals involved in incidents. Agency spokesperson Kawika Riley confirmed the altercation to msnbc.com in a statement: "On July 14 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, local law enforcement arrested a passenger for assaulting a TSA officer during the screening process."
Calls to Phoenix police for more details about the incident weren't immediately returned Saturday afternoon. It also wasn't immediately clear whether Mihamae was still in custody or had legal representation.
Phoenix TV station KSAZ says Mihamae lives in Longmont, Colo., and is self-employed.
