Seattle:
Surveillance video released on Tuesday shows the alleged "Barefoot Bandit", Colton Harris-Moore, running from authorities in the Bahamas and then getting arrested.
Harris-Moore was arrested July 10 in Eleuthera in the Bahamas, a week after he reportedly crash-landed in a plane stolen from an Indiana airport.
Authorities in the sun-bathed Caribbean country launched an extensive manhunt for the teenager and arrested him as he tried to flee in a boat.
Harris-Moore was deported to Miami after pleading guilty to illegally entering the island nation east of Florida.
His arrest ended a run from the law that started when he escaped from a halfway house in Washington state in April 2008.
Police dubbed Harris-Moore the "Barefoot Bandit" because he allegedly committed some of his crimes without shoes.
His spree turned him into a sort of folk hero, with more than 90-thousand followers on a Facebook fan page.
The "Barefoot Bandit" has received movie and book offers but is not interested in telling his story, nor does he want anyone else to do it, his attorney said on Sunday.
The 19-year-old is being held in Seattle on a federal count of interstate transportation of stolen property.
The US attorney's office says Harris-Moore is the primary suspect in at least 80 crimes committed since he escaped from a group home near Seattle in April 2008.
They include stealing five airplanes, three of which were wrecked in crash landings, dozens of break-ins at homes and businesses, and the theft of cash, food, electronics, firearms, cars and boats across nine states, British Columbia and the Bahamas, where he was captured.
At a court hearing last Friday, Harris-Moore did not contest his detention and waived his right to a preliminary hearing.
He is charged with one count of interstate transportation of stolen property in the theft last year of a plane from Idaho's panhandle that crashed north of Seattle.
It carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence if convicted.
