A federal judge in Oregon has decided there will be no prison time for a former Alaska Airlines pilot who tried to cut the engines on an airliner during a flight when he was traveling off-duty.

At the time, in 2023, Joseph Emerson was riding in the cockpit's extra seat on a Horizon Air flight

as it was heading from Everett, Washington to San Francisco.

There were more than 80 people aboard.

Emerson was subdued by the flight crew as he attempted to cut power to the engines, and the plane was diverted to Portland.

Emerson had consumed psychedelic mushrooms days before the flight, and the judge sentenced him to time served plus three years of supervised release.
