(Reuters) – An off duty Alaska Airlines pilot accused of trying to disable a jet’s engines during an October flight was charged by a grand jury with one count of endangering an aircraft and 83 other counts of recklessly endangering another person, a district attorney said on Tuesday.
The Multnomah County grand jury decided on Monday that Joseph Emerson (NYSE:EMR) did not attempt to injure anyone, and therefore declined to charge him with the 83 counts of attempted murder originally sought by the state, the pilot’s lawyer said in a statement.
