The $40 plane crash
FREDERICK, Md. (AP) — A homeless man caused about $12,000 in damage when he stole and crashed a single-engine airplane at a Maryland airport — but he’ll pay just $40 in restitution.
Frederick County Circuit Judge G. Edward Dwyer Jr. expressed surprise Thursday upon learning of the small amount.
Dwyer asked: “Only $40?”
Prosecutors explained that insurance had paid for all the damage except for a $40 deductible.
Fifty-one-year-old Calvin C. Cox has served half of his nine-month sentence for the December theft. His lawyer has said Cox stole the plane because he was homeless and cold.
