According to Instagram user Noah Dunne - who had been on the flight from Jacksonville, Florida, with McClinton - the woman had puked all over herself during the flight, taking off her pants soon after throwing up. It was then that the woman tried to fight the other passenger and staff, Dunne shared in the Instagram post. 

'It's been a day, lol,' he shared in the post. 

The Houston-bound flight did continue on to its destination without any incident. 

In a statement to Fox News, a spokesperson for the CommutAir confirmed that the woman had been on one of their flights. The flight had been operating as a United Airline flight at the time. 

'CommutAir flight 4332, operating as United Express from Jacksonville to Houston, diverted to Mobile when a passenger became disruptive,' the spokesperson added. 'The aircraft landed safely in Mobile where law enforcement officials met the aircraft at the gate. The flight continued on to Houston shortly after.'
