( CNN ) -- A niece of fashion designer Ralph Lauren was fined slightly more than $ 2,700 on Wednesday for her behavior during an air-rage incident that caused a trans-Atlantic flight to be diverted , an Irish court official said . Jennifer Lauren pleaded guilty Wednesday to a charge of `` being intoxicated to such an extent as would give rise to a reasonable ( possibility ) that you might endanger yourself or other persons on board '' an aircraft , said Susan Dermody from the Ennis Court Office . Judge Patrick Durcan accepted her plea and fined her 2,000 euros ( about $ 2,715 ) , which was just short of the 2,500-euro bail that earlier had been set for her , according to Dermody . It was also well short of the costs of the $ 43,158 incurred as a result of the flight diversion and inconvenience it caused to passengers and crew -- as detailed during Wednesday 's court hearing in Ennis -- state broadcaster RTE said . The court also took `` into consideration '' a charge that Jennifer Lauren engaged in `` threatening , abusive or insulting ( behavior ) with intent to cause a breach of the peace or being reckless , '' added Dermody , the Irish court official . The 41-year old was arrested Monday at Shannon Airport in western Ireland after a Delta Air Lines flight from Barcelona to New York was diverted , according to RTE . During her appearance at Ennis Courthouse , Lauren 's attorney , Sharon Curley , said her client had a number of medical conditions and was extremely sorry about the trouble she had caused , RTE added . The judge said he accepted that her behavior was out of character , but he had to also recognize the upset and disruption it caused . Lauren made no comment as she left the court . A Delta spokesman said the diversion was due to `` an unruly customer . '' The plane , carrying 216 passengers , resumed its flight to John F. Kennedy International Airport more than two hours after landing at Shannon Airport , which is about 25 kilometers ( 16 miles ) south of Ennis and also in County Clare . Lauren runs a business in the United States called Jenny Lauren Jewelry , products from which are available at Ralph Lauren stores and various select stores in California , New York and Colorado . According her company 's website , Lauren is a New York City native who developed a love for creating jewelry as a teenager . She is a graduate of Barnard College and the University of New Mexico , as well as an avid traveler having lived in places such as Brazil , Japan and Santa Fe , New Mexico . Her 2004 memoir , `` Homesick : A Memoir of Family , Food and Finding Hope , '' describes her effort to overcome an eating disorder and related health problems during her teens and 20s .
