Skydive Long Island: Jerks accused of stealing man’s ID and going skydiving

Maryam Burkes and Abass Ibrahim

These two skydivers just landed in jail.

Ibrahim’s mugshot.


A Brooklyn couple vying for a spot on “World’s Dumbest Criminals” stole a credit card and used it to pay for a thrill-seeking adventure — including a video of the experience that led to their arrest, police said.

“For them to use a stolen credit card for skydiving, then get the video-and-photo package, it was certainly brazen,” Suffolk Police Chief Stuart Cameron said of Abass Ibrahim, 21, and Maryam Burkes, 19.

“Not only do you see their pictures, but you hear them speak and see their mannerisms, which made it much easier to identify them.”

The Capital One credit card data was stolen from a man in Washington State, prosecutors said Wednesday during the couple’s morning arraignment. They then ordered two tickets online for Sky Dive Long Island in Shirley, choosing the deluxe package, officials said.

When they showed up for the dive June 20, they presented a photocopy of the credit card, along with a phone number they said was for the owner of the card.

Sky Dive’s owner called the phone number, and a co-conspirator claiming to be the owner answered and authorized the $854 total payment. It wasn’t until weeks later that Sky Dive’s owner realized he’d been had.

The diving package included a video of the experience, which the couple proudly posed for, answering questions to an off-camera instructor and throwing thumbs up signs to the lens from 10,000 feet in the air.

“I’m scared and I’m excited,” Burkes says in the clip.

Ibrahim was more cavalier.

“I just want to get it over with. I’m not really scared, I just want to get the feeling out already,” the thrill-seeker tells the camera man, who asks him if he likes “risk.”

“Yeah,” Ibrahim nods. “I take risks.”

When a Sky Dive worker realized the fraudulent charges on the account, police headed to the company’s office and found the video.

Earlier this month, cops posted the video and photos online and sent them to media outlets.

Mark Pollard, Ibrahim’s lawyer, said his client saw his photo on ABC News before the duo turned themselves in to Suffolk County police Tuesday around 5 p.m.

At their arraignment, Pollard said his client is a college student studying computer engineering who “has everything to lose.”

“He is a good kid. He is a college student who attends school in Buffalo. He has no priors. He has never done anything like that before. He has a real future ahead of him and he deserves a second chance.”

Ibrahim, who is charged with identity theft and forgery, was held with bail set at $10,000.

Burkes, hit with the same amount, cried at her separate arraignment, for one count of identify theft.

“This is a relatively minor offense. [Bail] is a little high, for the amount of money used,” her lawyer said.

They both pleaded not guilty.

Police are looking for the duo who they said stole a credit card number in June and went skydiving. 
(Suffolk County Police)






SUFFOLK COUNTY, Long Island — A couple went skydiving on Long Island and bought video of the experience to save as a memory -- but they charged it all to someone else's tab.

Police say the pair used a stolen credit card to purchase two sessions and video footage at Skydive Long Island in Shirley on June 20.

On Friday, police in Suffolk County released that video with a call for help identifying the suspected thieves, whose faces and voices were clearly recorded in the footage.

The 3-minute long video shows the wanted couple talking about their nerves before the flight, smiling for the camera on the plane, skydiving with their instructors and captures their reactions when they land.

"So much fun! Thank you!" the woman says as she poses for the camera.

"That was amazing. Best thing I ever did in my life," the man says.

It was not revealed how much money the couple charged to the stolen credit card, but according to prices listed on Skydive Long Island's website, it was likely hundreds of dollars. A single tandem skydive experience costs $298; a video package costs $119; and a video and photo package costs $149.

A cash reward of up to $5,000 for information that can lead to an arrest.

Anyone with information is asked to call Suffolk County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS. All calls are confidential.

Accident Number: GAA18CA078
Date & Time: 12/08/2017, 1500 PST
Registration: N4801D
Aircraft: CESSNA 172
Aircraft Damage: Substantial
Defining Event: Loss of control in flight
Injuries: 2 None 
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal 

The pilot reported that, during takeoff following a touch-and-go landing, the engine gauge readings appeared normal, the airplane lifted off the ground about 65 knots, and he applied nose down pressure to stay in ground effect. The pilot reported that the airplane was not showing indications of a climb nor was the airspeed increasing, so he lowered the nose further. He then attempted to climb by pulling back on the yoke and alternately build airspeed by lowering the nose multiple times with negative results. The pilot then reduced power to abort the takeoff. The airplane landed on the remaining runway, overran the end of the runway, and impacted a fence.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and both wings.

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

The passenger in the right seat provided a video showing the touch-and-go landing from the right seat looking forward through the windscreen. The instrument panel cannot be seen. During the landing, the airplane touched down about 200 feet beyond the approach end of the 3,004 ft. long runway. The pilot applied takeoff power, the airplane lifted off the runway, and continued in level flight in ground effect. The pitch attitude did not appear excessive, the stall warning horn was not audible, and there were no abnormal sounds from the engine. The pilot then reduced power to abort the takeoff. The airplane touched down near the departure end of the runway, and the camera panned downward for the remainder of the video. 

Probable Cause and Findings

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
The pilot's decision to abort the takeoff following a touch-and-go landing with too little runway remaining, which resulted in a runway overrun.

This Cessna 172N Skyhawk bounced on runway and went through a fence on December 8 at Paine Field (KPAE).


EVERETT — The former fire chief at Snohomish County’s Paine Field refused to respond to a plane crash at the airport earlier this month, according to documents obtained by The Daily Herald. He was supposed to be on duty at the time.

“The fire chief was a no-show,” Airport Director Arif Ghouse wrote in an internal email.

The chief, Jeff Bohnet, later wrote Ghouse that he had been too upset that day. Apparently, he was referring to being the subject of a police investigation that prompted newspaper coverage.

“I have truly been traumatized by the events that have taken place since last Thursday (Dec. 7),” he wrote using his county email. “I would ask that you take a moment to think about what it must be like to be in my shoes. I don’t think I was mentally prepared to respond to that accident and perform at the level you would expect me to.”

Bohnet could not be reached for comment for this story, and the county declined to provide additional contact information. Public records show he faced challenges in the weeks surrounding the plane crash.

On Dec. 1, he gave two-weeks notice that he planned to retire. He asked to use vacation for his remaining time but was told he was needed on site.

On Dec. 6, police wrapped up their case. They were looking into allegations that he bent county rules to get his hands on the frame from an old fire truck. Detectives determined he didn’t commit a crime but likely violated surplus policies. The next day, The Herald published details about the case. Then Bohnet announced he was retiring from his volunteer role with the Mukilteo Civil Service Commission.

At 1:45 p.m. Dec. 8 — less than two hours before the plane crash — Ghouse sent Bohnet an email. It said his retirement would be allowed, but it would be considered “not in good standing.”

Then, a Cessna 172 made a rough touchdown on a runway, went through a fence and onto a public road. Within the hour, a second small plane also crashed on the runway, reporting a gear problem. Everyone survived.

At first, though, the initial crash triggered an alert for crews, indicating the most serious type of incident that can happen at the airport.

The fire captain who was in charge of the scene told Ghouse that he couldn’t find Bohnet. As the emergency wound down, Ghouse directed the captain to call Bohnet on his cellphone. Bohnet said he was “south of the airport” and would not be responding, according to county records.

Bohnet lives in Mukilteo. He had his county-issued emergency rig at the time.

“He had not asked for time off and was a no-show to the incident,” Ghouse told the newspaper.

Ghouse also memorialized the events of that day in a memo just after 5 p.m. It was sent to staff in human resources and the county executive’s office.

“Don’t know why he didn’t respond,” Ghouse wrote.

More emails followed.

At 7:19 p.m., Bohnet emailed Ghouse back about the “not in good standing” comment. He said that if he knew about the police investigation, he would have postponed retirement to clear up any questions.

“ ‘Not in good standing’ is not what I deserve to have in the letter from you,” he wrote.

On Dec. 11, Ghouse emailed Bohnet again, this time about the no-show.

“The primary responsibility of the airport fire department is responding to aircraft emergencies,” he said.

Ghouse went on: “The airport/county is disappointed that you chose not to respond to an aircraft crash to provide leadership to your team and your total lack of communication with airport senior management during the emergency.”

Bohnet wrote back 25 minutes later, saying he missed the crash because he was “traumatized.”

Ghouse put Bohnet on paid leave. His retirement took effect Dec. 15.

Details of the police investigation are public record. Detectives were told that an old county fire truck chassis had appeared on land Bohnet owns near Cle Elum. The chassis was sold through an auction company in March. The buyer was Bohnet’s next-door neighbor, who apparently gave it to him.

The county code says employees cannot “directly or indirectly” come into ownership of former county property.

Bohnet and his crews had been reminded of those rules not all that long ago.

In 2015, an airport mechanic got in trouble for not following procedures when he sold an engine for scrap. That engine came from the same firetruck as the chassis.

The airport expects to advertise the fire chief position in the near future.

It was a busy afternoon for the crews at Paine Field Fire. Two different incidents happened within an hour.

In the first, a Cessna 172 with two people aboard was doing touch and gos on runway 16L-34R when according to Airport Director Arif Ghouse the plane didn’t gain enough altitude and came down in the safety zone at the south end of the runway. Momentum carried the plane through the fence and it ended up partially on 112th street. No one was hurt.

About 30 minutes later a small plane had landing gear issues and came down on the main runway without nose gear. The pilot of that plane was okay and the runway was soon re-opened.

The FAA has been notified about both incidents and will look into what happened.

There have been three incidents involving small planes at Paine Field in the last 6 days. On Monday a small plane crashed after taking off on runway 16L-34R. Two people on board were able to walk away but that plane was totaled.

EVERETT, Wash. -- Two small planes crashed at Paine Field on Friday afternoon.

Two men were on one plane that crashed just after 3 p.m.

The Federal Aviation Administration and Paine Field officials said the Cessna 172 ran through the airport perimeter fence onto 112th Street Southwest at the south end of the airport.

There were no significant injuries. But the small runway is closed while the fence is repaired.

The second crash occurred about 4 p.m. when an experimental plane had problems with its nose landing gear.

It had to land on a main runway without the nose gear down.

There were no significant injuries to the male pilot.

There were two plane crashes within an hour of each other Friday at Everett’s Paine Field. The incidents are unrelated, and are the second and third crashes at the airport within a week.

The first crash occurred around 3 p.m.

“On take off, this Cessna which had two males — a passenger and pilot — was unable to gain altitude, so they attempted to land in a field, which they did successfully,” KIRO 7’s Joanna Small said.

Two males who appeared in their 20s were aboard the airplane, according to the Everett Herald. Minor injuries were reported.

The fixed-wing Cessna 172 airplane didn’t gain altitude during takeoff while the men were practicing touch-and-go landings around 3 p.m. On one practice landing, the plane kept going south on the runway, eventually smashing through a fence. The plane came to rest on a road outside the airport with damaged wings and a bent propeller.

About an hour later, a second small airplane crashed on the same runway. A pilot failed to extend the plane’s landing gear, and skidded as it landed. No injuries were reported. The airplane was quickly removed from the runway.

There was another plane crash at Paine Field nearly one week ago. A man and a woman were on that airplane at the time, but were uninjured. An investigation into that crash is underway.

EVERETT, Wash. - A small plane has crashed near Paine Field in Everett, officials said Friday.

First responders were reporting to the scene around 3 p.m. 

Officials with the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office said so far there are no reports of injuries. 

FAA officials said the small plane crashed while landing and ran through the airport perimeter fence onto a street. 

Two people were onboard. 

Earlier this week, on Dec. 3, a small plane crashed near Paine Field. In that crash, no one was injured.

It was a busy afternoon for the crews at Paine Field Fire. Two different incidents happened within an hour.

In the first, a Cessna 172 with two people aboard was doing touch and gos on runway 16L-34R when according to Airport Director Arif Ghouse the plane didn’t gain enough altitude and came down in the safety zone at the south end of the runway. Momentum carried the plane through the fence and it ended up partially on 112th street. No one was hurt.

About 30 minutes later a small plane had landing gear issues and came down on the main runway without nose gear. The pilot of that plane was okay and the runway was soon re-opened.

The FAA has been notified about both incidents and will look into what happened.

There have been three incidents involving small planes at Paine Field in the last 6 days. On Monday a small plane crashed after taking off on runway 16L-34R. Two people on board were able to walk away but that plane was totaled.

EVERETT, Wash. -- Two small planes crashed at Paine Field on Friday afternoon.

Two men were on one plane that crashed just after 3 p.m.

The Federal Aviation Administration and Paine Field officials said the Cessna 172 ran through the airport perimeter fence onto 112th Street Southwest at the south end of the airport.

There were no significant injuries. But the small runway is closed while the fence is repaired.

The second crash occurred about 4 p.m. when an experimental plane had problems with its nose landing gear.

It had to land on a main runway without the nose gear down.

There were no significant injuries to the male pilot.

There were two plane crashes within an hour of each other Friday at Everett’s Paine Field. The incidents are unrelated, and are the second and third crashes at the airport within a week.

The first crash occurred around 3 p.m.

“On take off, this Cessna which had two males — a passenger and pilot — was unable to gain altitude, so they attempted to land in a field, which they did successfully,” KIRO 7’s Joanna Small said.

Two males who appeared in their 20s were aboard the airplane, according to the Everett Herald. Minor injuries were reported.

The fixed-wing Cessna 172 airplane didn’t gain altitude during takeoff while the men were practicing touch-and-go landings around 3 p.m. On one practice landing, the plane kept going south on the runway, eventually smashing through a fence. The plane came to rest on a road outside the airport with damaged wings and a bent propeller.

About an hour later, a second small airplane crashed on the same runway. A pilot failed to extend the plane’s landing gear, and skidded as it landed. No injuries were reported. The airplane was quickly removed from the runway.

There was another plane crash at Paine Field nearly one week ago. A man and a woman were on that airplane at the time, but were uninjured. An investigation into that crash is underway.
