Not surprisingly, the Detroit Free Press has a fairly detailed story about this:

He admitted starting the fire after concocting numerous stories false stories. He was allowed to fly back to DFW yesterday, but was seated next to someone from "corporate security" and not allowed to get up at all during the flight.
His only brush with the law was a DUI from 2014, right before he was hired by AA. Looks like they're scraping the bottom of the barrel in their search for flight attendants. Judge must have given him a choice: enlist in the army or become a flight attendant at AA . . .
