Barefoot, busted and back in the U.S.

MIAMI -- The American teen dubbed the "Barefoot Bandit" was deported to the U.S. on Tuesday, just hours after he pleaded guilty to a minor offense in the Bahamas. Law enforcement officials escorted Colton Harris-Moore on a commercial flight to Miami to face prosecution for a two-year string of break-ins and plane thefts across the nation.

Officials said the 19-year-old was taken to a federal jail in Miami, where he is scheduled to have an initial court appearance Wednesday.
