Man Lights Match on US Airways Flight is Arrested for ID Fraud

March 19, 2010 | Posted in: Flight Attendants,Passengers,Travel Tips,US Airways

us airways arrested ID fraud

I guess the moral of thisĀ story is, don’t do something dumb that will bring you to the attention of authorities – if you’ve got something to hide.

It seems a man from Maine accidentally lit a match on a US Airways flight from Washington to Boston as he was removing the match book from his pocket. A small fire ensued, but he put it out.

Unluckily for him, flight attendants take a dim view of fires on their airplanes and the Massachusetts State Police were there to greet this fellow upon landing in Logan. And, during questioning, they discovered he was wanted in Georgia for identity fraud and was arrested.

No charges were filed in the match lighting incident.
