The federal trial of a former flight attendant accused of orchestrating two separate in-flight bomb hoaxes last year, including one that caused an emergency response at Dickinson Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport, has been delayed yet again.
U.S. District Court Judge Daniel Hovland has agreed to reschedule the trial of Justin Cox-Sever, who was employed with SkyWest Airlines flights when he allegedly created anonymous bomb threats first on a July flight from Charlottesville, Va., to Chicago and then on a September flight from Minneapolis to Dickinson, from early June to early August.
This is the third time the trial -- which solely addressed the North Dakota allegations -- has been rescheduled. The first trial date was set for February.
Cox-Sever, who was 22 years old at the time of his arrest following the North Dakota incident, has pled not guilty to two charges of interfering with an aircraft for that individual case. He was charged with three other crimes in federal court in Virginia, but has not entered any plea there.
