Based on their investigation, police have obtained a warrant for the arrest of dog owner Alison Lawrence, NBC affiliate Wesh reported.
A spokesman for the Greater Orlando Aviation Administration (GOAA) said he believes Wesh Lawrence owned the dog in the toilet before passing the security checkpoint.
Officials said she was about to board the flight but did not have the proper documentation to allow the plane’s dog and could not bring her pet with her.
She was arrested in Lake County on Tuesday, March 18th. Police said she posted $5,000 in bonds.
As of Wednesday, the investigation into the incident is still underway. Goaa said it will work fully with law enforcement, saying that pet passengers should visit the TSA website before heading to the airport to check the restrictions and requirements.
