LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- Police arrested a 22-year-old Georgia man for stealing a charter jet that was reported stolen from St. Augustine, Fla., and ended up some 350 miles away in metro Atlanta.

Daniel Andrew Wolcott, 22, of Buford, was charged with felony theft by receiving and five misdemeanor counts of reckless conduct, Gwinnett County police said Wednesday, adding that additional charges were expected from federal authorities, and, perhaps, Florida, where the theft occurred.

"We're still investigating," St. Johns County Sheriff's Office spokesman Kevin Kelshaw said Wednesday afternoon. "We dispatched a couple of detectives to go up to Georgia and work with those officials up there. We're trying to get to the bottom of it and find out all the facts in the case before we make any charges against anyone."

The break came when investigators spoke with five people who said they were on the 10-passenger, $7 million Cessna Citation 7 when Wolcott flew it.

The exact circumstances of how Wolcott got to St. Augusine and obtained the plane were unclear. Wolcott lives less than 15 miles from the Gwinnett County Airport-Briscoe Field, where the aircraft was found.

"We have found no relationship between Wilcott and the company (that owns the plane)," Gwinnett police Officer Darren Moloney said Wednesday. "We have found a loose relationship with the airfield, Briscoe Airfield. (We) don't think he was a full-time employee -- maybe a part-time employee -- but he did hang out at the Brisco Airport."

According to an online database, Wolcott had a commercial pilot's license, but is not licensed to fly that type of plane. According to records, that license expired in August 2001.

Police did not give further details except to say that local authorities have been contacted by the U.S. Attorney General's Office, which has indicated that additional charges will come from them.

Wolcott, accompanied by an attorney, turned himself in Wednesday morning. He is being held on $175,000 bond.

The plane was found Monday afternoon at Briscoe Field on Monday. It remained there Tuesday, surrounded by orange cones.

"We've ruled out anything diabolical or sinister," Moloney said. "We didn't find anything threatening on the plane."

The plane is owned by Pinnacle Air of Springdale, Ark., which had no comment.

Crime scene investigators have gotten all the forensic evidence they need from the plane, and there was no evidence of weapons or drugs, Moloney said.

Bryan Cooper, assistant manager at St. Augustine Airport, said the plane was still there at midnight Saturday but was gone by 5 a.m.

"(The thieves) new their way around airplanes and airports," said Michael Slinluff of the fixed-base operator at St. Augustine Airport, Aero Sport. "This airport has very good security, and they knew how to get through it."

The plane landed at Gwinnett sometime between 9 p.m. Saturday and 6 a.m. Sunday, Moloney said. It had some damage to the front edge of one wing but was not disabled, authorities said.

Although the plane landed when the airport's flight tower was not operating, officials said that is not unusual. Once on the ground, an automatic gate would have let the person out of the airport, Moloney said.

The Federal Aviation Administration officials told Channel 4 that no flight plan was filed and the aircraft's transponder was not turned on, so air traffic controllers did not monitor the flight. The agency is probing its own traffic system to see if there is any record of the plane flying during the time in question, FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said.

Lisa Ray, spokeswoman at the Georgia Office of Homeland Security, had no comment on whether the theft raised larger questions of security at the airport, which is the fifth-busiest in Georgia. Two of the Sept. 11 hijackers, Mohamed Atta and Marwan al-Shehhi, trained there for a time.

This is not the first time Wolcott was involved in the disappearance of a plane, an owner of the Flight School of Gwinnett told Channel 4.

Lannie Pruchnicki said that 3-4 years ago, Wolcott rented from Briscoe Field for a one-hour local flight. The plane was found the next morning near Chattanooga, Tenn.

Because the plane was returned without damage and Wolcott's father offered to pay all costs associated with the incident, the flight school did not press charges.
