FARGO (AP) - A man who is accused of forcing an emergency plane landing when he charged its cockpit during a Thanksgiving Day flight has had his trial officially scheduled for Feb. 4.

Andrew James Smith, 25, of Los Molinos, Calif., faces a felony charge of interfering with an airplane flight crew, which carries a prison term of up to 20 years. He is free on a personal recognizance bond.

Court documents state that Smith yelled out, "We're all gonna die. We're gonna go to hell," during a United Airlines flight from Washington, D.C., to Sacramento, Calif., on Thanksgiving.

Smith took off his clothes in the airplane's bathroom and ran toward the cockpit, documents say. A flight attendant blocked his path with a beverage cart, and flight attendants and passengers subdued him.

The plane's pilot, hearing noises that he said sounded like a fist fight, made an emergency landing in Fargo.

Smith has waived his right to a preliminary hearing and pleaded not guilty. He is being represented by a federal public defender, Richard Henderson, who did not respond Wednesday to a request for comment.

Smith has been ordered to complete a mental health evaluation, but U.S. Magistrate Karen Klein last week lifted a requirement that he stay at a Fargo halfway house.

Los Molinos is in northern California, which is about 120 miles north of Sacramento.
