'Barefoot Bandit' is indicted for boat theft
Colton Harris-Moore, the "Barefoot Bandit" who allegedly stole a luxury fishing boat in Ilwaco in May to cross the Columbia River in style, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Seattle.
The 19-year-old was apprehended in Bahamas last summer after a dramatic chase that seems certain to generate a Hollywood movie.
His alleged crime generated a federal charge because it involved interstate transportation of a stolen vessel, a 34-foot boat that was sailed to Oregon.
