This incident happened in May, but he's just been indicted.

Excerpt:

A ComAir flight attendant was arrested Thursday on charges he starting an airplane lavatory fire that forced an emergency landing May 8.

A federal grand jury indicted Turhan Jamar Lamons on a charge of attempting to set fire to and wreck ComAir Airlines Flight 5491 from Atlanta to Huntsville, Ala.

The 50-passenger plane landed at the Rome airport after someone reported smoke coming from the lavatory. No one was injured. Investigators found partly burned newspaper in the restroom.

The 23-year-old attendant also is charged with making a bomb threat against an AirTran Airways flight one week after Sept. 11, 2001. The threat resulted in the plane being evacuated and searched.
