Colton Harris-Moore 20-year-old former fugitive known as the Barefoot Bandit, who gained international fame for hop scotching his way across the United States. Guess what he flew a plane stolen in northwestern Washington to the San Juan Islands, stole a pistol in British Columbia and took a plane from Idaho to Washington State, stole a boat in southwestern Washington to go to Oregon, and took a plane in Indiana and flew to the Bahamas, where he was arrested. He earned his nickname "Barefoot Bandit" because he committed several of the crimes without wearing shoes.
He is sentenced by a federal judge to 6 1/2 years in prison. But since the time is to be served while he finishes out the 7 years in prison that he was sentenced to by a state court last December, it looks like Harris-Moore won't actually be spending any additional time behind bars.
KING-TV says that Harris-Moore's defense team wants him to be held "in a state corrections facility, rather than a federal facility, because the state's formula for calculating credit for 'good time' (what is sometime referred to as 'time off for good behavior' while in prison) is more favorable to him than the federal rule, meaning he could potentially be released sooner from a state facility if he obeys all the rules while in prison."
