Federal authorities are checking on some documents found in an aviation engineering student's car after he was involved in an accident last week.
According to a police report, a Marion County sheriff's deputy found handwritten notes about airplanes and flying instructions, a map giving directions to a federal building Downtown and some advice about how not to set off metal detectors.
Ayman Al-Salmi, 21, 5400 block of Norfolk Way, was cited with leaving the scene of an accident.
According to the deputy's report, Al-Salmi 's car struck another northbound car about 3:30 p.m. last Wednesday at Executive Drive and West Raymond Street.
A witness said he saw Al-Salmi's car then leave the scene. The witness said he chased after Al-Salmi in his own car, cornered him on a dead-end street and forced him to return to the accident scene.
The deputy said Al-Salmi appeared very nervous and kept offering to pay the other driver cash if a report wasn't made on the accident.
FBI spokesman Doug Garrison confirmed that Al-Salmi is a Vincennes University student attending courses at its Aviation Technology Center near Indianapolis International Airport.
Garrison said the FBI was following up on the deputy's report.
The accident site doesn't appear to be far from the airport there. Just what was our little friend up to?
