FBI Closes Review of Porsha Williams’ Delta Flight Dispute After Finding No Crime

The case reached federal authorities through routine referral of in‑flight incidents under aviation jurisdiction.

Overview

  • The confrontation occurred Nov. 16 on Delta Flight 591 from Las Vegas to Atlanta after a complaint about phone volume in first class, and Atlanta police reported no arrests or injuries upon arrival.
  • Police bodycam footage captured conflicting accounts, with Porsha Williams denying any physical contact and the other passenger alleging assault and a knocked phone.
  • Two nearby passengers told officers they witnessed no physical altercation and said Williams did not touch the woman.
  • The Atlanta Police Department forwarded statements to the FBI for review under federal aircraft jurisdiction, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office determined no crime occurred.
  • Williams’ attorney welcomed the decision, saying the allegations conflicted with eyewitness accounts, while Delta said crew intervened, the passengers were separated, and the flight landed without further issue.
