A woman who was dragged off of a plane at Detroit Metro Airport makes plea deal.

Rhima Coleman faced a judge for an arraignment and pre-trial hearing.

She pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct. Coleman will have to pay $500 in court costs and other fees or face 30 days in jail.

Police say Coleman refused to stop at a gate at the airport back in December.

She also reportedly refused to properly check her bags.

Officers tried to get her to walk off the plane on her own, when she didn't, they dragged her from the aircraft.

Coleman is an assistant professor at the University of Michigan.
