Man Found Naked In Woods Near Official's Home
And now, from the police blotter: authorities in Swatara Township in central Pennsylvania responded to a call from a resident Sunday night at 9:30pm.

The Central Pennsylvania Patriot-News reports the call had come in from Fire Chief Robert Furlong, who reported hearing noises outside his home. When he went to investigate, he found an intoxicated woman inside the fire department's Chevrolet Tahoe.

The woman told police there was a naked man in the woods, and after searching on foot until almost midnight, they called in a helicopter. About that time, a woman who lives in the 300 block of Summit Ridge called 911 to report a naked man came out from behind her parked car and asked her for a pair of shorts.

Police said they found the man a few minutes later hiding behind a shed. He was taken into custody wearing only a wrist watch and flip-flops. The rest of his clothes were found in the woods, where the drunk woman said the pair had decided to enjoy a romantic interlude while walking back to their motel room from a diner.

The suspects were arraigned on numerous charges, and bail was set at $10,000 each.

So, we hear you asking... why is this on Aero News? Well, the police report identified the suspects as 24-year-old Pinnacle Airlines pilot Jeffrey Paul Bradford, and 24-year old Pinnacle Airlines flight attendant Adrianna Grace Connor.

Pinnacle Airlines could not be reached for comment. We imagine their parents are mighty proud, too.

Pilot Accused Of Stealing Passenger's iPod
TSA Says Pilot Claimed It Would Be Confiscated

POSTED: 3:55 pm MST July 16, 2007
UPDATED: 7:06 am MST July 17, 2007


JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Mesa Air pilot is accused of stealing a passenger's iPod at a security checkpoint at Jacksonville International Airport, police said.

Police said Christopher Newton, 34, was spotted on camera on Thursday taking a iPod out of someone else's container while going through a security checkpoint.

A police officer was summoned after a passenger reported to the Transportation Security Administration that his iPod had been taken at the security checkpoint.

A TSA agent showed the office a tape of an airline pilot placing a container, used to hold passenger's personal items during screening, over another container, then removing an item from the lower container, the report said.

The top container was used to conceal his actions, according to the report. The pilot then placed the item that he had removed into his computer bag, the report said. The report said the pilot made no attempt to contact the rightful owner or security personnel.

Newton was in the cockpit of United Express Flight 7332 when officers found him and asked him to deplane, according to the police report.

Newton admitted to having the iPod his possession, the report said.

He claimed he took the iPod because he said it would just be confiscated by airport employees, according to the report.

Newton, on police order, returned to the cockpit, retrieved the iPod and handed it over to police, the report said.

But because his flight was 15 minutes late, police allowed him to continue on, the report said.

The Jacksonville Aviation Authority Police Department said the case remains under investigation.

"We know passengers steal from passengers," said TSA spokersperson Nico Melendez. "It can happen anywhere. Fortunately, some aiports do have cameras. Workers try to keep their eyes open and urge passengers to do the same."

Mesa Air Group, Inc. is based in Mesa, Ariz.

Here is an update to a classic topic:

Skywest flight grounded when police arrest the pilot

RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA TV) - A Skywest crew member was taken off a plane Wednesday morning by a Rapid City police officer but the airline just told passengers there was “a crew issue.”



A Delta flight to Utah was delayed Wednesday morning when Rapid City police took a crew member off the plane.

Rapid City Police Chief Karl Jegeris said in a tweet - "RCPD has arrested a Skywest Airlines pilot for operation of an aircraft while intoxicated."

The pilot is 38-year-old Russel Duszak of Salt Lake City.

Police were called a little after 8 a.m., less than a half hour before the Skywest Airlines flight was to take off for Salt Lake City. Police were told by a TSA agent that the pilot “smelled of alcohol.”

Dayrn Farmer, a hunter on his way home to Oregon, told KOTA Territory News that when the passengers started the boarding procedures he noticed there wasn’t a flight crew.

“They first told us the plane wouldn’t start,” Farmer said.

After passengers saw a police officer on the gangway with a flight crew member, passengers were given a little more but still not exactly what was happening.

“They (airline representatives) just said they had a crew issue,” Farmer said.
