May 17th- 14 more Charges Against Colton


From mainstream news – SEATTLE – Island County prosecutors have filed ten new and four amended charges against Colton Harris-Moore, the alleged “Barefoot Bandit” who is already awaiting trial on federal charges.

The new charges include eight counts of burglary; one count of firearm theft; and one count of computer trespass. The amended charges include three counts of identity theft and one count of attempting to elude a police vehicle.

Combined, the total maximum punishment for all the alleged crimes is 120 years in prison and $240,000 in fines.

One of the reasons prosecutors filed the charges now is because some of them occurred in 2008 and are close to reaching the three-year statute of limitations, Island County Prosecutor Gregory Banks said.

Last week, San Juan County filed 16 theft and burglary charges against the former fugitive.

Harris-Moore is expected to reach plea deals that would resolve federal and state charges in several jurisdictions. The charges involve plane, boat and car thefts as well as numerous burglaries.

The 20-year-old gained a popular Internet following during his run from the law.
