A woman caught smoking in a nonsmoking area of Denver International Airport on Tuesday responded by putting out her cigarette and taking off her clothes.
Around 8:45 a.m., after being asked to extinguish her cigarette, the woman stripped naked in the B Concourse.
“The woman told officers that she’d had no sleep the night before,” said Raquel Lopez, spokesperson for the Denver Police Department.
The woman was taken in for a medical evaluation. “No one was arrested, no one was hurt and no report was filed,” Lopez said.
Police and paramedics responded and “the woman was ultimately transported to a local hospital,” said Laura Coale, Denver International’s director of media relations.
There are four smoking lounges at Denver International airport, including two Aviator’s Club Smoking Lounge locations, but there is no clothing-optional area, Coale said, nor are there plans to create one anytime soon.
