San Juan County today filed an additional 16 charges against Colton Harris-Moore, including two plane and three boat thefts. The other felony charges include residential and commercial burglaries such as the Homegrown Market break-in -- where the famous chalk footprints and “C-Ya” were left scrawled on the floor -- and Vern’s Bayside, where the how-to-fly DVDs were ordered and the safe cracked.
The filing also spells out the words a San Juan County deputy says that the Barefoot Bandit used to taunt him after he’d chased Colton on foot through the town of Eastsound: “You can’t catch me.”
There are a lot of other incredible details behind all these chases and charges that stretched from the islands of the Northwest to the Bahamas. They’re not in the court filings, but they will be included in my upcoming book, The Barefoot Bandit, to be published by Hyperion.
The new charges bring the San Juan County tally up to 17 felonies, each with a maximum penalty of up to ten years in prison. Island County is also expected to file a new batch of felony charges against Colton in the near future. Attorneys involved in the case expect all of the Federal and Washington State charges will be handled in a plea deal within the next month. For now, Colton Harris-Moore remains inside the Seatac Federal Detention Center, where he's been held since his capture last July in the Bahamas.

He's out of solitary confinement isn't he?
ReplyDeleteYes, Colton has been out of solitary for a few months now.
ReplyDeleteI find myself, digging for more information about Colton. I'm am going to school to become a detective. I have study, so many criminals, but never been so fascinated, by one as I am by Colton. Colton Harris Moore is a very unique character. I wish I could talk to him, to learn more about him. I seen this case I've read, every. article that has been written, on him. But yet I still don't know the boy. I only know the barefoot bandit. And that troubles me. Because he isn't a murder or a rapist . This is a case, of a young kid at the time running with the wrong person. Then it turned, into a young man running scared, yes he stole, yes he was in the wrong . But he would never hurt any one physically. You can read that much from his eyes. What I'd give to hear his side, from him himself .
