A former Alaska Airlines pilot has been charged with flying two passenger flights between California and Oregon in 2014 while under the influence of alcohol, federal prosecutors said.
David Arntson, 60, was arrested on Wednesday and arraigned in U.S. court in Los Angeles on a felony charge of piloting a plane with passengers after drinking, Eileen Decker, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, said in a statement on Thursday.
The charges stem from two Alaska Air Group Inc flights on June 20, 2014. Arntson flew from San Diego International Airport to an airport in Portland, Oregon, and then another trip to John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California, Decker said.
After landing on his last flight, Arntson was selected for a random drug test, Decker said. Separate tests found the California resident had a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.134 percent and 0.142 percent, Decker said.
