Cockpit Intrusion Charges Dismissed
Judge Dismisses Charges Against Man Who Stormed Airplane Cockpit, Grabbed Controls
judge dismissed all charges against a man who stormed the cockpit of an Alaska Airlines jetliner two years ago in a bizarre case blamed on encephalitis.
U.S. District Judge William Alsup signed an order Thursday dismissing all charges against construction contractor Peter Bradley of Blue Springs, Mo., after confirming Bradley had completed a diversion program of medical treatment and 200 hours of community service.
Prosecutors agreed to the program after determining Bradley, 41, was suffering from a rare outbreak of encephalitis and didn't know what he was doing during the March 16, 2000, flight.
