The man who was arrested after police says he locked himself in the cockpit of plane will be facing plenty of charges.
37-year-old Andrew Alessi of Baton Rouge went into the cockpit of a plane that had no one on board. It was American Eagle flight 2795 which was headed for the Dallas-Fort Worth airport.

He will be facing local charges in addition to federal charges. East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's deputies booked Alessi on a count of terrorizing. A FBI spokesman says that Alessi will also be facing charges of interfering with a flight crew.
Alessi's bail is 150-thousand dollars for the count of terrorism.
