Bethany K. Farber suing City of Los Angeles, LAPD and LAX police.
A southern California woman experienced a case of mistaken identity while trying to board a flight from Los Angeles International Airport to Mexico last April.
Bethany K. Farber, 30, was detained and later arrested over a warrant issued out of Texas. Bethany Farber was wanted by authorities in the Lone Star State for property damage. Side-by-side photos of the two women show the wanted woman with much darker hair, and little resemblance to the blonde Bethany K. Farber.

Farber, along with her legal team and family, held a news conference outside the Los Angeles Police Department Tuesday.
Farber said she tried time and time again to proclaim her innocence, by telling airport police there must be a terrible mistake. She asked officers to check her passport, she told FOX 11 Los Angeles. After being handcuffed at LAX, she was moved to a local police station before being booked into the Lynwood women’s jail.
