The pilot made the decision to lock down the cockpit and return the plane to Las Vegas. The aircraft was carrying fuel and was above its maximum landing weight due to its lack of a fuel-dumping system. The 25-year-old passenger was arrested on charges of making a threat or providing false information regarding an act of terrorism and could face up to 20 years in prison if found guilty. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident.
