Christina Elizabeth Szele of Woodside, N.Y., was freed Wednesday. She had been held since June 17 in Denver, where the pilot had diverted the plane after an altercation.
The FBI said the 35-year-old Szele shouted obscenities and racial epithets at a flight attendant who tried to stop her from smoking. Authorities said crew members restrained her with plastic handcuffs, but she broke them and punched a flight attendant in the jaw.
Szele faces charges of assault and interfering with flight attendants. Her next court appearance is July 11.
The magistrate who set Szele's bail ordered her not to travel on planes or drink alcohol.
