A Delta Airlines Boeing 767-300, registration N192DN performing flight DL-31 from Moscow Sheremetyevo (Russia) to New York JFK,NY (USA), was enroute at FL360 about 190nm east of Goose Bay,NL (Canada) when the crew reported an unruly passenger on board and requested to divert to Goose Bay, where the airplane landed safely about 40 minutes later. The unruly woman (49) was taken into custody by Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The Police said,
the Russian woman brought duty free alcohol on board and consumed that alcohol in the lavatory, which resulted in a commotion and the crew requesting the diversion. The woman has to appear in court facing charges of endangering safety of an aircraft.

Sounds like UUEE usual. Drinking their own booze and smoking in the lavs. Nothing out of the norm for that flight.
I remember being on a flight a few years ago and I smelled someone smoking, so I asked the FA. Her response was better in the lav than at the seat. They take apart the detectors and there is not much we can do........
