Woman attacks hubby at airport after finding ‘indecent’ images on his phone
A couple’s trip to South Carolina was cut short before it even got going when the wife was detained for reportedly beating her husband at the airport after discovering lewd pictures on his phone.
After the violent altercation on Wednesday at the Charleston International Airport, Paula Barbour, 55, was charged with third-degree domestic violence, according to WCSC. The pair were engaged in an argument when police arrived on the scene at 2:50 p.m. to react to an “active domestic” situation.
According to the police incident report that the outlet was able to obtain, the suspect said that all she wanted was to fly home and away from the victim. She claimed that while on vacation in South Carolina, she “saw multiple lewd photographs” on his cellphone, which made her mood worse.
She questioned him about the lewd photos, and they got into a fight. Although the man claimed to have been attacked, security footage allegedly showed his wife kicking him in the knees, tossing the phone to the ground, and attempting to strike him in the face. After confessing to hitting him, Barbour was taken into custody.
After being brought to the Al Cannon Detention Facility, she was later released on a $5,237 bail.

Western Sydney Airport Welcomes Its First Plane After 6 Years of construction
In a historic milestone for Australia’s aviation sector, the first plane has officially taken off and landed at Western Sydney Airport after six years of construction, much to the delight of a small but enthusiastic group of dedicated planespotters.
A test pilot made the inaugural landing using a Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche, successfully completing a series of take-off and landing runs on the newly built tarmac. This crucial test paves the way for larger passenger aircraft, which are expected to start using the runway in two years.
Virgin Atlantic Introduces Sign Language Crew Booking for Inclusive Flights
The Piper PA-30 was employed to assess the airport’s approximately 3,000 Aeronautical Ground Lights (AGLs) by executing operations in various conditions, including daylight, dusk, and evening. This testing ensures that the lighting system is fit for purpose and ready to welcome aircraft when the airport opens to commercial flights in late 2026.
The pilot also highlighted that the rapid exit taxiways have been designed at a 45-degree angle, allowing for quicker transitions on and off the runway. Once operational, the airport will feature a single runway capable of handling up to 10 million passengers annually right from day one.
Qatar Airways Launches new Flights From Doha To Toronto
As the construction phase nears completion, the airport’s main terminal, apron, and supporting infrastructure will be ready to accommodate around 81,000 flights each year. This milestone marks a significant moment for Western Sydney Airport, the first new airport to open in Australia since Melbourne’s Tullamarine Airport more than two decades ago.
Major airlines, including Qantas and Jetstar, have already committed to operating from the 24/7 facility, signaling strong support for this new hub. By 2033, the airport aims to handle up to 10 million passengers and facilitate extensive air traffic movements annually.
