Dolores O'Riordan, singer for The Cranberries, was released from a police station in Ireland following an in-flight incident with a stewardess. Police questioned the "Linger" vocalist, but she was not charged.
According to BBC News, O'Riordan was on a flight from New York to Ireland when the "air rage incident" occurred. The singer allegedly attacked a stewardess, fracturing one of her feet, before the plane touched down around 5:00 a.m. local time. Once law enforcement had O'Riordan in custody, she allegedly head-butted a police officer.
Police questioned the Cranberries band member before she complained of being sick. She was taken to a hospital in nearby Limerick and released shortly thereafter.
"The matter is being investigated by An Garda Siochana [Irish police]," a spokesman for the airline company told the BBC. "As this is a security matter we will not comment any further."
After seeing success for much of the '90s, the band took a break from recording after 2001's Wake Up and Smell the Coffee. Their most recent effort, Roses, was released in 2012. The album didn't make any noise in the U.S., but it managed to climb to number 37 on the U.K.'s Top 40 chart.
"So it's a relief that the group's comeback LP brims with Celt-tinged dream pop, as Dolores O'Riordan's broad singing melts into cardigan-cozy jangle." Rolling Stone's review of the album reads. "There are lyrical uh-oh moments ('Schizophrenic Playboy'), but Roses reminds us that note-hammering Brits from Adele to Florence owe Dolly a small debt."
The Cranberries have two dates scheduled for December in France.
