Fort Myers, Florida - Lee County authorities say a Colorado woman was escorted off a commercial flight for ignoring instructions to stop talking on her cellular phone.

Barbara-Anne Urrutia, a spokeswoman for the Lee County Port Authority, tells the News-Press of Fort Myers that the woman was being disruptive aboard the American Airlines flight about 9:30 last night.

The plane flew to Southwest Florida International Airport from St. Louis. A report is being filed with the Transportation Security Administration.

Urrutia says charges won't be filed against the woman.
