STORYLINE:
New court documents say an off-duty airline pilot who tried to cut the engines on a flight in mid-air told police he had recently taken psychedelic mushrooms as his mental health worsened.

State prosecutors in Oregon filed 83 counts of attempted murder against 44-year-old Alaska Airlines pilot Joseph David Emerson on Tuesday. His attorney has entered not guilty pleas on his behalf.

Federal prosecutors charged Emerson with interfering with a flight crew. The charge can carry up to 20 years in prison.

Court documents say Emerson told police he had been struggling with depression, that a friend had recently died and that he had taken psychedelic mushrooms about 48 hours before he attempted to cut the engines.
