New court documents say an off-duty airline pilot who tried to cut the engines of a plane midflight told police he had recently taken psychedelic mushrooms as his mental health worsened.
State prosecutors in Oregon filed 83 counts of attempted murder against 44-year-old Alaska Airlines pilot Joseph David Emerson on Tuesday. His attorney has entered not guilty pleas on his behalf.
Federal prosecutors charged Emerson with interfering with a flight crew. The charge can carry up to 20 years in prison.
Court documents say Emerson told police he had been struggling with depression, that a friend had recently died and that he had taken psychedelic mushrooms about 48 hours before he attempted to cut the engines.
Emerson was arrested Sunday night after the flight crew reported that he attempted to shut down the engines on a Horizon Air flight from Everett, Washington, to San Francisco while riding in the extra seat in the cockpit.
The plane was diverted to Portland, where it landed safely with more than 80 people on board.
