The young man accused of being the "Barefoot Bandit" is scheduled to make his first court appearance Thursday in Seattle, one day after returning to the state where authorities say his crime-spree started.
After a two-year run from the law that stretched across the nation and to the Bahamas, 19-year-old Colton Harris-Moore was returned to Washington state Wednesday.The hearing is a procedural appearance in which he will be advised of the charge against him and possible penalties. Harris-Moore was arrested July 10 in the Bahamas. Authorities say he flew there and crash landed in a plane he stole a week earlier from Indiana. Police dubbed Harris-Moore the "Barefoot Bandit" because he's accused of committing some crimes without shoes. |
