Former flight attendant gets 22 years for setting fire on jet

ATLANTA
A former flight attendant accused of setting a fire in an aircraft lavatory was sentenced Thursday to more than 22 years in prison after being convicted of damaging an aircraft with fire and other charges.
Turhan Jamar Lamons, 26, of Morrow, Ga., was working as the sole attendant on a Comair flight from Atlanta to Huntsville, Ala., in 2003 when he set the fire, said U.S. Attorney David E. Nahmias.
When Lamons reported smoke in the lavatory, the jet was forced to make an emergency landing about 20 minutes after takeoff, Nahmias said. Authorities concluded that the fire was set and determined Lamons was the only person who entered the lavatory.
"Lamons was a real threat to the safety of civil aviation," Nahmias said Thursday. "The Department of Justice will continue to prosecute with vigor and determination all those whose actions threaten the safety of the flying public."
The charges against Lamons stemmed from two incidents: The 2003 case and another in 2001.(snip)
