Jonathan J. Dunn was indicted by a Utah grand jury on Oct. 18 and charged with interfering with a flight crew, stemming from an incident in August 2022, according to court documents.

The document states that Dunn used a dangerous weapon to assault and threaten a crew member, interfering with the crew member's ability to perform his duties.
The Inspector General's Office said Dunn, the crew's pilot, threatened to shoot the captain multiple times after a disagreement over diverting the flight due to a passenger's medical incident.
The inspector general's statement did not say which airline operated the flight, but Delta told CNN in a statement: “This pilot is no longer employed by Delta.”
“Out of respect for the ongoing aviation authority investigation into this incident, Delta will not comment on this matter,” the statement said.
When asked about Dunn's pilot license status, the Federal Aviation Administration told CNN: "Jonathan J. Dunn does not have a current FAA medical certificate, which is required to fly."
Dunn's arraignment is scheduled for November 16, according to online court records.
