“You will lose your job over this s**t. I know Donald Trump.”
A presidential candidate's troubled relative has been charged by a district attorney's office after an airport brawl fueled by alcohol and poor decision-making skills.
On Monday, the Jefferson Parish District Attorney's Office filed charges against Shannon Christie Epstein after she fought with several police officers at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.
Epstein, Chris Christie's niece, allegedly became violent after refusing to leave the jetway after being kicked off a Spirit Airlines flight for accusing a Latino family of “smuggling cocaine.”
Without any delay, she started verbally attacking the officers.
“Do you know who I am? I'm related to some very powerful people, and I need to get back on that plane to New Jersey,” she bellowed. “Do you know who I am? I'm Chris Christie's daughter and you're so f**ked. You will lose your job over this s**t. I know Donald Trump.”
It took seven officers to remove Epstein from the jetway. At one point, she “broke free,” forcing cops to strap her to a wheelchair.
She “displayed unusual strength” as she fought deputies, according to the police report. At one point, she bit an officer who tackled her, tearing skin off of his bicep.

Deputies used flexible handcuffs and leg shackles to secure Epstein in a wheelchair, though she continued to use obscene language, authorities said.
She was arrested and booked with six counts of battery of a police officer, three counts of disturbing the peace, one count of resisting arrest and one count of remaining at a place after being forbidden.
Epstein was released the same day from the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna on a $10,750 bond.
If convicted of resisting arrest, she faces a minimum of one year in prison with a maximum sentence of three years.
