Default Charges dropped against airline pilot

Pilot Won't Be Prosecuted On Vegas Intoxication Charge
April 15, 2005, 11:26 AM

(AP) Criminal charges are being dropped against an airline pilot arrested on a plane at McCarran International Airport and accused of being intoxicated. Clark County District Attorney David Roger says prosecutors wouldn't be able to prove AirTran pilot Oliver Paul Reason Junior was operating an aircraft while intoxicated.

The plane was still on the ground, and Reason was arrested in the aircraft galley -- not at the controls. Prosecutors say a breath test put Reason's blood-alcohol percentage above the point-zero-eight limit for driving in the state.

But only the results of a blood test taken four hours later would have been admissible in court. That test put Reason's blood-alcohol content well below the limit.

Reason's 38. He was fired by AirTran shortly after his arrest. The Federal Aviation Administration could still suspend or revoke his pilot's license.
