Description
An off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot who allegedly tried to cut the engines of a plane that left Everett's Paine Field in October has been indicted in Multnomah County court in Oregon, prosecutors announced Tuesday afternoon.
Joseph Emerson, 44, was previously charged in federal court.
According to the Multnomah County District Attorney's office, a grand jury indicted Emerson on 84 counts for the Oct. 22 incident aboard Horizon Air Flight 2059, which was diverted to the Portland International Airport after the disturbance.
Emerson faces 83 counts of recklessly endangering another person and one count of first-degree endangering aircraft. He remains jailed at the Multnomah County Detention Center and is set to be arraigned in the Oregon case on Dec. 7.
