Smoking Pot On A Plane Could Land Bieber In The Big House

May Face Federal Charges Of Interfering With A Flight Crew

Justin Bieber's alleged pot-smoking antics aboard a chartered business jet last month could land the pop star in federal prison should he be found guilty of interfering with a flight crew. Bieber reportedly could be facing such charges from the FAA.

NBC News reports that the captain of the flight warned Bieber and his father "repeatedly" to stop smoking marijuana during the flight. The two were also allegedly "abusive" towards the flight attendant, who was told by the captain to stay near him in the cockpit to avoid further abuse from the passengers.

Multiple law enforcement agencies said that the chartered GIV was so full of pot smoke when it landed at Teterboro that the flight crew had been forced to wear oxygen masks during the later stages of the flight.

Now, NBC News is reporting that it is looking into the allegations that the passengers "interfered with the flight crew" which would be in violation of FAA regulations.

The investigation is currently in its fact-finding stage, and no charges have been brought. FAA regulations state that "No person may assault, threaten, intimidate, or interfere with a crewmember." If they are tried and convicted of such charges, Bieber or any other passenger on the flight could face a maximum sentence of 20 years in a federal prison, a $25,000 fine, or both. According to the FAA website, one incident could result in multiple charges.
