Crime Blog

This is a new blog dedicated to the general topic of crime and crime prevention in Alaska.

The Daily News encourages community engagement and discussion of issues of crime and criminal justice. Comments are not edited and will be posted immediately. We know that stories about crime often provoke strong reactions, but we insist that you keep your comments on point, use good taste and show courtesy toward other writers. Posts that violate the Terms of Use will be deleted, and repeat offenders will be banned from adn.com.

Man gets probation for bomb threat on plane

Posted by crimeblog

Posted: September 4, 2008 - 3:39 pm

A man who threatened to blow up an Alaska Airlines plane while pacing the aisle, preaching and holding a Bible, has been sentenced in federal court to five years of probation, according to the U.S. attorney.

Kirk Frederic Forest, 39, pleaded guilty in January to the threat charge and has been in the custody since. A condition of his sentence is that he undergo inpatient mental health counseling during his probation, prosecutors said.

Forest was accused of walking the aisle of the Anchorage-bound flight from Seattle holding a Bible and proselytizing to fellow passengers about God and Jesus.

When confronted, Forest told flight attendants he had a bomb and asked one of them if he should blow up the aircraft.

Forest was restrained and the aircraft landed safely. No bomb was on board.
