"Delta Karen" Arrested by the FBI
Delta Karen: "What am I, Rosa Parks?"

She's a former Raider cheerleader, now a real estate saleswoman.

A high-flying realtor who worked for Coldwell Banker and Berkshire Hathaway in California has been revealed as the 'Delta Karen' who was arrested by the FBI for attacking an 80-year-old passenger on a plane after he removed his face mask to eat - while she was herself maskless.

Patricia Cornwall, a real estate agent previously based in Los Angeles, who in the 1990s was a member of the Raiderettes cheerleaders for the then-LA-based NFL team, was identified as the unruly passenger on the Thursday flight from Tampa to Atlanta when the altercation took place.

She posted on a website looking for a room to rent for $1,200 a month in Okaloosa County, in the Florida panhandle.

'Moving from California. I am single divorced and have two grown children who are overseas in UK. I have been practicing residential real estate for 13 years in Los Angeles/Westside.

'I have also lived in Florida in the past few years and I'm excited to reintroduce Florida back into my life permanently. Renting a room will be a great start settling me in. Furnished is preferred.'

Cornwall, 51, was not wearing a face mask on Thursday's flight.

But she took exception to an 80-year-old man taking off the face covering to eat and drink while at his seat.

The pair exchanged a volley of foul-mouthed insults, which ultimately descended into physical violence, with at least one crew member and multiple other passengers reportedly injured while trying to get Cornwall away from the man, who has not been identified.

It remains unclear how the other passengers and flight crew members were injured, and how severe those wounds were.

Cornwall is due to appear for an initial appearance at the Federal Courthouse in Atlanta on Monday, a source from the FBI told DailyMail.com.

Delta Karen is even crazier than first thought.

It was never even about the mask.

It turns out there was a little bit more to the story before she went after him about the mask. According to court records, she was trying to make her way back to her seat but was blocked by the flight attendants serving with the beverage cart. So the flight attendants asked her if she would take an empty seat until they could finish and get past her. According to the report she said, "What am I, Rosa Parks?" The elderly man who was sitting nearby took offense to her comment and said to her that she "isn't black....this isn't Alabama and this isn't a bus." It was after that that she went off on him about his mask.

Though, to be fair to Karen, it does seem like the old man stuck his nose in where it wasn't wanted first.

Seems more like a case of mutual Karening. It seems like the old guy Karned her in a minor way for having compared herself to Rosa Parks, so she looked for a way to over-Karen on him, and seized upon the mask thing as a way to play Karen trumps.

That's why she never once had her own mask on during her mask harangue -- it was never about the mask. It was only about her trying to get vengeance for his questioning her claim of Temporary Rosa Parks Status.

If she gets 60 or 90 days in jail, it will be for this reason, not for assaulting a man on plane while playing Mask Vigilante.
