Narrative:

Upon boarding, it was brought to my attention that a female passenger appeared, acted, and smelled drunk. I spoke with her and the gate agent on the jet bridge and explained that it violated far's to board her. She proceeded to call me a 'foul name' and I told her to follow the agent back to the terminal before we called security. She, after a few mins, left.
