Woman Accused Of Groping TSA Agent Is Radio DJ

A Colorado woman accused of groping a Transportation Security Administration agent at the airport in Phoenix, works as a volunteer radio DJ at KGNU in Boulder, where she is described as "polite."

Police say Yukari Miyamae, 61, entered the screening area in Terminal 4 last Thursday, became argumentative and refused to be screened by TSA staff, according to a story by Deb Stanley at The Denver Channel.

Officers say Miyamae grabbed the left breast of a TSA agent with both hands, squeezing and twisting it. She was arrested on suspicion of sexual abuse, a felony.

Miyamae's boss at 88.5 FM KGNU said he's not buying the account from the TSA.

"I know she would speak up for herself if she felt she was being mistreated," said station manager Sam Fuqua. "But speaking up is very different than groping."

Fuqua said Miyamae is very polite.

On Twitter, Miyamae said, "Police statement and Fox coverage does not depict accurately what happened to me on July 14th at Phoenix Airport in Maricopa county, Arizona."
