SASKATOON - A Manitoba senator's wife has pleaded guilty to causing a disturbance on an Air Canada flight.

Maygan Sensenberger, who is 23, is also accused of uttering threats against her husband, but has yet to plead on that charge.

Sensenberger is married to 69-year-old Liberal Senator Rod Zimmer who has said he did not feel threatened.

It's alleged his wife said she would slit his throat during a ruckus on a flight from Ottawa to Saskatoon last month.
