Washington, D.C. – Two U.S. air marshals have fled Brazil after arresting a Brazilian judge’s wife on an October 1, 2010, flight to Rio de Janeiro and being arrested themselves as a result. The two men arrested the Brazilian woman onboard a Continental flight after she struggled with them and bit them. The incident happened after the marshals confronted the allegedly intoxicated woman while she was attempting to serve herself alcohol from the gallery. After the flight arrived, the air marshals attempted to turn the woman over to Brazilian authorities. But they themselves were arrested and brought before a judge for misdemeanor assault. The men’s passports were confiscated, yet they managed to use alternative travel documents to board a flight back to the U.S.  After the men failed to appear for their court date, a Brazilian court contacted the U.S. Embassy to try and obtain the men’s addresses.  The State Department has not released a statement on the matter.
