COUPEVILLE, Wash. (AP) — Island County prosecutors have filed 14 new charges against Colton Harris-Moore in the case of the “Barefoot Bandit.”
Prosecutor Greg Banks says that he filed the charges to avoid a possible statute of limitations and also because new evidence became available. The new charges include a variety of property crimes from 2008 to 2010.
The filings on Tuesday come a week after prosecutors in the San Juan Islands filed 17 new charges.
Colton is accused of leading a two-year crime spree that ended with his arrest in the Bahamas last summer — some of the crimes he allegedly committed without wearing shoes.
