A woman accused of slapping her children while drinking aboard a Frontier Airlines flight pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court on Wednesday to a charge of interfering with a flight crew.
Tamera Jo Freeman also was charged with assaulting her two children, but those counts were dropped in a plea deal with federal prosecutors.
Freeman, 38, was arrested in July at Denver International Airport after fellow passengers complained she struck her children during a flight from San Francisco.
Freeman admitted she hit her 2-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter because the children spilled her drink and were fighting over a window shade, according to court records.
The children were placed with relatives.
Freeman is to be sentenced Jan. 18 and faces four to 10 months of home detention, according to a plea agreement.
