NACOGDOCHES, Texas (AP) — A tip from an 8-year-old boy has helped deputies recover a plane reported stolen from an East Texas airport.
The Cessna 182 turned up missing Jan. 28 from a hangar at Athens Municipal Airport.
Nacogdoches County Sheriff Thomas Kerss says online news stories about the theft included the plane's U.S. registration, known as the N-number.
Kerss told the Nacogdoches Daily Sentinel that the boy Monday afternoon noticed a plane had just landed on a private airstrip. The child went to a computer, verified the tail's N-number was the same as the stolen aircraft, then told his father.
Deputies were notified and arrested Terry Lynn Boozer near the airstrip. He remained in custody Wednesday on a felony theft charge.
Jail officials did not immediately provide more information on Boozer.
