Long Island man accused of flying plane too low near high school
A Long Island man has been arrested on a reckless
endangerment charge after police say he flew his plane too low in the vicinity
of a high school.
Nassau County Police say Marc Capus flew his 1972 Cessna
at altitudes between 200 feet and 400 feet on the afternoon of June 17. Police
say the 49-year-old man flew over Bellmore near Kennedy High School and also
made sharp banking maneuvers at low altitudes.
Police say Control Tower personnel identified him to the
Nassau County Air Bureau police after he landed his plane at Republic Airport
in Farmingdale.
Police say he was arrested at his home Saturday with
assistance from the Federal Aviation Administration. He was charged with
first-degree reckless endangerment. A phone number for Capus went unanswered
Saturday.
