19-year-old Colton Harris-Moore was indicted by a federal grand jury in Seattle yesterday.\u00a0 He will face five charges, including interstate transportation of a stolen aircraft and being a fugitive in possession of a firearm.<\/p>\n
The U.S. teenager was nicknamed the “Barefoot Bandit” during his alleged two-year string of thefts from Washington state to the Caribbean.<\/p>\n
After running from the law for two years, Harris-Moore was caught on 10 July in the Bahamas, after allegedly crash-landeding a plane he stole from an Indiana airport.<\/p>\n
He was deported from the Bahamas to the US after pleading guilty to illegally entering the country.\u00a0 The US embassy, eager to get him back on U.S. soil, paid a $300 (\u00a3185) fine on his behalf.<\/p>\n
The teen faces up to 10 years in jail on each of four of the counts. He remains in a federal detention centre in Washington state while he awaits trial. He is suspected of committing more than 80 crimes across nine states since allegedly walking away from a halfway house in April 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
