A 19-year-old Woodbury man has been charged with allegedly setting a fire in the restroom during a Compass Airlines flight from Minneapolis to Regina, Saskatchewan.
Eder H. Rojas was arrested Wednesday night in Minneapolis and was charged Thursday morning in federal court. The U.S. attorney's office for North Dakota will prosecute the case.
According to a criminal complaint, Rojas, a flight attendant upset at having to fly that route, started a fire in the bathroom of the May 7 flight.
Flight 2040 made an emergency landing in Fargo. None of the 72 passengers or four crew members was injured.
