Plane Mystery Solved

According to reports from Atlanta ABC-TV affiliate WSBTV, an arrest has been made in the case of the stolen plane that appeared in Gwinnett County, GA over the weekend. (For previous posts about the theft, click here, here, and here.

According to WSB-TV,

Daniel Andrew Wolcott, 22, of Buford, is facing at least six charges, including one felony count of theft by receiving and five misdemeanor counts of reckless conduct, police said. He was being held at the Gwinnett jail in lieu of a $175,000 bond...

Police said the arrest stems from statements made by five people who were allegedly on the plane when Wolcott piloted it from Florida to Georgia, an apparent joyride. Investigators declined to release their identities.

I have a call into the Gwinnett County Police Department's Public Information Officer to confirm this story.

But I'll take a joy rider over a terrorist any day.
