Man Steals Plane to Impress Chick
Chick remains unimpressed.
Santos, who is being held in the LaPorte County Jail on $2,000 bond, is accused of driving to the LaPorte Municipal Airport despite a lifetime ban on his driving privileges.
I'm thinking lifetime might not be long enough.
According to police reports, Santos was drunk when he took his girlfriend to the airport Sept. 9 to show her that he could fly a plane. They climbed into the plane and were heading down the taxiway when, Santos told police, flames began shooting from the left engine.
Alcohol was involved? Shut up.
Santos shut things down in an orderly manner, and thinking quickly ran the aircraft into a field of soybeans which brought his speed safely under control and busted up the plane.
He wasn't caught at the scene however, he was detained after an anonymous tipster reported overhearing Santos describe his amazing exploits.
