Porn star Tory Lane was arrested at LAX after allegedly getting drunk and assaulting other passengers and the flight crew.Delta flight 17 from Atlanta Georgia landed at LAX on Wednesday night, and airport police and members of the FBI were there to meet Lane, real name Lisa Piasecki, at gate, uh, 69 (no joke). Lane was detained and later taken to a hospital for treatment. According to KTLA, police described her behavior as "belligerent" and said the incident happened in mid-air.

TMZ reports that Lane was so unruly that she had to be restrained during the last 45 minutes of the flight, and when the flight landed she attacked one of the officers there to take her into custody.

Lane has since been released from jail and tweeted early this morning from her personal Twitter account @misstorylane (link NSFW) saying there's more to the story than has been reported (tweets include NSFW images, and have been embedded to not display them):

According to the Internet Adult Film Database, Lane has directed 7 movies and appeared in over 600 films—including When Pornstars Attack and When Pornstars Attack 4.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.

We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.

Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
