Miami, Florida (News Today) - Colton Harris-Moore, the teenager dubbed the "barefoot bandit," will appear in federal court in Miami, Florida, on Wednesday afternoon.
The 19-year-old was taken into custody on Harbour Island in the Bahamas early Sunday.
He was sought in a string of home and airport break-ins in various U.S. locations along with thefts of vehicles.
In the Bahamas, Harris-Moore pleaded guilty to a charge of illegally landing a plane, paid a $300 fine and was ordered deported, his lawyer said.
He was then flown to Miami on Tuesday, the FBI said.
Typically in extradition cases, the accused makes a first appearance in the federal court closest to where he was arrested, said Emily Langlie, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western District of Washington.
The Southern District of Florida, in Miami, is the closest jurisdiction to the Bahamas, said Langlie.
In his initial U.S. appearance, he will be told of his rights and read an initial charge of interstate transportation of stolen property, Langlie said.
