Federal prosecutors feel the infamous “Barefoot Bandit” Colton Harris-Moore who went on a crime spree that included stealing airplanes, shouldn’t make money off his wild story.
In papers filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle, federal prosecutors said the government should get all proceeds made from books or movies, SeattlePI.com reported. The claim was included in a new indictment that added a new charge.
“The property forfeited includes … any and all intellectual property or other proprietary rights belonging to the defendant, based upon or pertaining to any narration, description, publication, dissemination or disclosure of information relating to” the crimes charged, prosecutors wrote, the website reported.
Harris-Moore, 20, is set to go on trial in July for a string of nationwide thefts that transpired after he escaped from a group home in April 2008, the SeattlePI reported. He pulled off the crimes while barefoot. At least on one occasion he was naked.
Authorities claim he stole at least five planes and assaulted law enforcement officers, the website reported.
Authorities said he may end up pleading guilty, the website wrote.
