Barefoot Bandit Caught Bragging About Crime Spree, Insulting Cops


Colton Harris-Moore, better known to fans and critics around the world as the Barefoot Bandit was caught this week bragging about his crime spree while at the same time insulting police and prosecutors who were slow to catch and try the young criminal fugitive.

Colton is set to be sentenced on Friday and according to officials the 20-year-olds emails and phone calls were monitored inside the jailhouse where he is residing. Among his insults he called police “swine” and “asses” and then said of the San Juan County prosecutor that he was a “complete fool.”

Further into his messages the Barefoot Bandit continued to brag about his illegal activities right up until the time he was finally captured by authorities.

Prosecutors are now arguing ahead of his sentencing that he has shown a complete lack of remorse for his actions, while stating that they will stick to his 6 1/2-year sentence. Ironically it was his very short sentence that was a large part of his jailhouse bragging.

In one email Colton wrote:

“The things I have done as far as flying and airplanes goes, is amazing,” and “Nobody on this planet have done what I have, except for the Wright brothers.”

So there you have it, Colton Harris-Moore isn’t just the barefoot bandit, he’s the third person in the history of man to fly an airplane. Although I’m pretty sure the Wright Brothers having invented flight rather then flying without the aid of an instructor is slightly different.

Do you think prosecutors should have asked for more time based on new information or is 6 1/2 years a good amount of time for the youngster to remain behind bars?
