Man sentenced for piloting aircraft while drunk. York Municipal Airport (KJYR), Nebraska



Watch Video
A Seward man who's been convicted five times of driving a motor vehicle under the influence is adding another to his record. This time, though, it's for operating an aircraft.

55-year-old Colby Bartholomew pleaded no contest and was sentenced last week.

He was arrested on April 24 after a state trooper and an airport service officer saw strange activity on the runway at the York Municipal Airport.

The pair saw an ultralight aircraft enter a ditch near the runway, go back on the runway and then off again.

It damaged marker lights.

Bartholomew failed an alcohol test and smelled of liquor. He will spend 60 days in jail.
