Reid was immediately arrested at Logan International Airport after the incident. Two days later, he was charged before a [[United States Federal courts|federal court]] in Boston with "interfering with the performance of duties of flight crew members by assault or intimidation", a crime which carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Additional charges were added when he was formally [[indicted]] by a [[grand jury]]. The judge ordered Reid held in jail without [[bail]], pending trial due to the gravity of the crimes and the perceived high risk that he would try to flee.<ref name="cnn 12-25-01">{{cite news |date=25 December 2001 |title=Shoe bomb suspect to remain in custody |work=CNN |url=http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/12/24/investigation.plane/ |access-date=31 December 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020404125657/http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/12/24/investigation.plane/ |archive-date=4 April 2002}}</ref> Officials at the time indicated that Reid's shoes contained 10&nbsp;ounces (283&nbsp;g) of explosive material characteristic of [[C-4 (explosive)|C-4]], enough to blow a hole in the fuselage and cause the plane to crash.<ref name="cnn 12-25-01"/><ref>{{cite news |last1=Thomas |first1=Pierre |last2=Pinto |first2=Barbara |last3=Stark |first3=Lisa |last4=Wright |first4=David |title=Shoe Bomb Suspect Had Enough Explosives to Bring Down Plane |url=https://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=92054 |access-date=9 December 2014 |work=ABC News |date=24 December 2001 |quote=Officials at Logan Airport described the substance as consistent with the military plastic explosive C-4.}}</ref>

During a preliminary hearing on 28 December, an FBI agent testified that forensic analysis had identified the chemicals as [[PETN]], the primary explosive, and [[TATP]] (triacetone triperoxide), a chemical needed to detonate the bomb with a fuse and match.<ref name="CNN 12-28-01"/><ref>{{cite news |last=Reeve |first=Simon |title=Shoe-bomb flight – a trial run? / U.S., British officials fear similar attacks in the works |url=http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Shoe-bomb-flight-a-trial-run-U-S-British-2885291.php |access-date=9 December 2014 |work=San Francisco Chronicle |date=6 January 2002 |quote=The TATP in Reid's shoes was "blended" with an explosive called PETN, or pentaerythritol tetranitrate, which can be ignited with a normal cigarette lighter. |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150910193610/http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Shoe-bomb-flight-a-trial-run-U-S-British-2885291.php |archive-date=10 September 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Candiotti |first=Susan |title=Official: Plastic explosive 'very sophisticated' |url=http://edition.cnn.com/2001/US/12/26/inv.reid.mosque/ |access-date=9 December 2014 |publisher=CNN |date=27 December 2001 |quote=Richard Reid hid 10 ounces of PETN-based material, a version of the plastic explosive C4 that is very sensitive to heat and friction. |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151017005328/http://edition.cnn.com/2001/US/12/26/inv.reid.mosque/ |archive-date=17 October 2015}}</ref> The prosecutor obtained a grand jury indictment and on 16 January 2002, Reid was charged with nine criminal counts related to terrorism, namely: 
* Attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction
* Attempted homicide
* Placing or transporting an explosive or incendiary device on an aircraft or public mass transportation vehicle,
* Attempted murder
* Two counts of interference with flight crew members and attendants on an aircraft

The ninth charge, attempted wrecking of a mass transportation vehicle, was dismissed on 11 June 2002, because the Congressional definition of "vehicle" did not include aircraft.<ref name="United States v.

During the sentencing hearing, Reid said he was an enemy of the United States and in league with al-Qaeda.<ref>Reid's membership in al-Qaeda was corroborated later in 2003 by informant [[Mohammed Jabarah|Mohammed Mansour Jabarah]] during an interrogation at an American military base. Jabarah said Reid was a member of al-Qaeda who had trained in Afghanistan under the direction of [[Khalid Shaikh Mohammed]]. {{cite news |url=http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/asiapcf/southeast/01/30/reid.alqaeda/ |title=Sources:Reid is al Qaeda operative |last=Ressa |first=Maria |date=6 December 2003 |publisher=CNN |access-date=31 December 2009 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070104171205/http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/asiapcf/southeast/01/30/reid.alqaeda/ |archive-date=4 January 2007}}</ref> When Reid said he was a soldier of [[God in Islam|God]] under the command of [[Osama bin Laden]], Young responded:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://thedailyneutron.com/freedom/shoe-bomber/ |title=The Shoe Bomber Has His Day in Court! |work=The Daily Neutron |date=30 January 2003 |access-date=10 September 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161013204906/http://thedailyneutron.com/freedom/shoe-bomber/ |archive-date=13 October 2016}}</ref><ref name="nytimes 01-31-03"/>

<blockquote>You are not an enemy combatant, you are a terrorist&nbsp;... You are not a soldier in any army, you are a terrorist. To call you a soldier gives you far too much stature. ''[points to U.S. flag]'' You see that flag, Mr. Reid? That is the flag of the United States of America. That flag will be here long after you are forgotten.</blockquote>

Reid reportedly demonstrated a lack of remorse and a combative nature during the hearing, and said that "the flag will come down on the day of judgment".<ref name="nytimes 01-31-03"/><ref name="cnn transcript"/> He is serving his sentence at [[United States Penitentiary, Florence ADX]], in Colorado, a [[supermax]] facility that holds the most dangerous prisoners in the federal system.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bop.gov/iloc2/InmateFinderServlet?Transaction=NameSearch&needingMoreList=false&LastName=Reid&Middle=Colvin&FirstName=Richard&Race=U&Sex=M&Age=&x=26&y=13 |title=Inmate Locator, Richard Reid |publisher=Federal Bureau of Prisons |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120310081504/http://www.bop.gov/iloc2/InmateFinderServlet?Transaction=NameSearch&needingMoreList=false&LastName=Reid&Middle=Colvin&FirstName=Richard&Race=U&Sex=M&Age=&x=26&y=13 |archive-date=10 March 2012}}</ref>
