Thief steals plane, crashes
Police in Maryland say a homeless man tried to leave town in a stolen plane but crashed the single-engine aircraft on a municipal airport runway before he ever left the ground.
Fifty-one-year-old Calvin Cox remained in custody on Monday after a District Court Commissioner set his bail at $10,000 on felony charges including theft, burglary and trespassing. He did not have a lawyer with him.
