According to APD, the disturbance happened while the plane was in the air. Passengers and Delta employees were injured during the disturbance, APD said.

After arriving at Hartsfield-Jackson, officers met the flight at their gate. After talking with employees and passengers, the woman was taken into custody.

FBI agents also responded and took over after that, according to APD.

APD have identified the passenger they detained as Patricia Cornwall. The viral video shows a woman's mask below her chin as she yells, "Put your (expletive) mask on!" at a male passenger, who appears to have a bottle of water in his hand.

"You can't make this stuff up. It is something that is just unbelievable," former Atlanta prosecutor Darryl Cohen said. 

The video shows the woman telling the man to, "Stand the (expletive) up!" He tells her, "Sit down, Karen! Karen sit down." The woman yells back, "Sit down, (expletive), and he yells back, "(Expletive). No, you're the (expletive)." The woman then tells the man to, "mask up!"

She orders the flight attendants to make him put a mask on, and the man responds that he's eating and drinking. The woman appears to slap the man.

Flight attendants attempt to hold the woman back. The man tells her, "You got your mask down (expletive)," to which she responds, "I will put my mask on when you put your mask on!"

"It's almost comical, except that it's reality," federal defense attorney Tom Church said.

The FBI is investigating and hasn't announced any charges. We asked our legal experts what charges Cornwall could face.

"She could be charged with a felony by interfering with the lawful duties of not one, but two, I think maybe three flight attendants because they had to restrain her and continually ask her to stop," Cohen said. "She is potentially facing both misdemeanor and felony charges."
