The 'Barefoot Bandit' refuses bail

HIS attorney says the "Barefoot Bandit," accused of dozens of thefts from Washington state to the Caribbean, is a likable but immature child.

The US attorney in Seattle calls Colton Harris-Moore, 19, a menace who, if set free, would pick up his two-year crime spree where he left off.

Harris-Moore says he's no hero.

What's indisputable is he's a federal prisoner after opting not to seek bail during an eight-minute court appearance on Thursday.

Appearing before US Magistrate Judge Brian Tsuchida, Harris-Moore did not contest his detention and waived his right to a preliminary hearing. His next court appearance will likely come after a grand jury indictment.

Harris-Moore spoke quietly with attorney John Henry Browne and didn't smile during the hearing. He softly answered "yes" several times when Tsuchida asked him if he understood the charge against him and that he would remain in custody.
