The charge was dropped this morning when Maygan Sensenberger appeared in domestic violence court in Saskatoon.
The 23-year-old still faces one count of causing a disturbance and the Crown added a count of uttering threats.
Saskatoon police arrested the woman last week after she allegedly caused a ruckus on a flight from Ottawa while sitting with her
husband, 69-year-old Senator Rod Zimmer.
Witnesses say Zimmer started having health problems on the flight and his wife got emotional about getting him medical treatment.
