Unfortunately jail time is not likely with these type of charges. However, the family could really have it socked to them with a civil suit should we decide to go after getting reimbursed for all the taxpayer money expended during that manhunt. That would preclude future stunts by these idiots as they’d be forced to go out and actually work for a living.
Didn’t he call the FAA before calling anyone else, though? I’m no federal law expert, but that seems like it would be a big no-no.
