'Barefoot Bandit' asks for early end to probation

The man once known as the "Barefoot Bandit" is asking a judge to end his probation early so he can become a motivational speaker.

Colton Harris-Moore was sentenced to 6 1/2 years in prison back in 2012 after he committed dozens of burglaries and crash-landed three stolen planes. The then-teenager often left behind a sketch of his bare footprint as his calling card.

Harris-Moore, now 28, is asking a federal judge to end his probation four months early.

But the Seattle U.S. Attorney said there's no reason to let him off the hook since his probation doesn't prevent him from traveling for speaking engagements.
