SEATTLE, Wash. (Metro Networks Inc.) -- The "Barefoot Bandit" gets six-and-a-half years behind bars for a multi-state crime spree.
Twenty-year-old Colton Harris-Moore was sentenced today in federal court in Seattle for multiple burglaries and stealing cars and even airplanes during his two years on the run.
He earned the moniker "Barefoot Bandit" for leaving footprints at the scenes of his crimes.
He also gained cult status for thumbing his nose at the police trying to track him down.
Harris-Moore eventually ran from his stomping grounds in the Northwest and was captured, reportedly barefoot, in the Bahamas.
Harris-Moore was also sentenced to three years of probation after he's released.
