A woman emitted piercing screams while being arrested at Nashville Airport while so drunk she did not know what state she was in.
Self-styled spiritual guru Lauren Maten was taken into custody fighting and screaming over the incident on March 15, with bodycam of the drama just released.
Airport cops were initially called to reports that Maten, 24, had failed to pay her bill at the 400 Degrees restaurant.
Newly released body cam footage shows the moment the police approached Maten before all hell broke loose.
The altercation began when Maten denied that she had skipped out on her bill and started aggressively demanding the officer return her ID.
‘Can I have it back? That’s my iPhone,’ she fumes before correcting herself and adding, ‘I mean my ID.’
But as the officer refuses and encourages her to relax, Maten only becomes more irate.
She climbs off her chair and begins trying to grab her ID from the officer’s hand as they urge her to refrain.

She was arrested for public intoxication after an airport restaurant reported her to the police for allegedly failing to pay her bill
‘What’s happening, what’s going on? I need my ID. Give me my ID. Give it back,’ she shouts.
As she continues to rage, they slap her in handcuffs which only intensifies her outburst.
She begins screaming at the top of her lungs and begging other passengers for help and insisting she is sober.
Maten then refuses to keep walking and slumps to the floor shouting: ‘Public intoxication is not even a thing in Indiana.’
To which an officer replies: ‘You’re in Tennessee’ before she is placed into a wheelchair and escorted through the airport.
‘Help me! I don’t know what’s going on,’ she yells. ‘Miss please, please help me. I don’t know what’s going on, what do I do?’
At one point she bizarrely yells out imploring President Joe Biden to help.
Maten continues resisting as they take her into an elevator, requiring the strength of three officers to wrestle her inside as she screams and writhes on the floor.
One officer was clearly amused by the bizarre drama and could be heard bursting into laughter as Maten’s theatrical shrieking continued.
The performance carries on even as she is walked out of the airport and into a waiting police car.
Online records show she faced charges of public intoxication and resisting arrest.
She lets out another ear-splitting shriek as the officers bundle her into the car, yelling: ‘What did I do wrong?’
Maten keeps arguing with the cops all the way to the station, but eventually calms down and starts singing.
A cop then informs her that someone had reported her missing earlier.
Once she arrives at the police station Maten walks herself to the station door and promises to behave herself and is booked in.

Both cases were dismissed and Maten was ordered to pay $220 in court fees.
The incident came less than a year after UK comedian Rachel Jackson ended up in jail following a meltdown at the same airport.
The Edinburgh-born star, who has appeared in ‘Outlander’ among others, was captured on police bodycam footage berating and swearing at police while being escorted from Nashville Airport.
