By Mac Daniel, Globe Staff

A warrant was issued today for a Marblehead man who failed to show up for his arraignment after being arrested by State Police Thursday night when a Delta Air Lines flight crew said they caught him smoking in an airplane bathroom.

Police said Barron K. Morgan, 40, was charged with interfering with aircraft operations on a flight from Salt Lake City to Boston.

Morgan was later released on bail and was scheduled to be arraigned in East Boston District Court today, where he failed to appear, court officials said.
