Miami , Florida ( CNN ) -- The `` barefoot bandit , '' teenager Colton Harris-Moore , was taken Tuesday from the Bahamas to Miami to face charges , the FBI said . Special Agent Judith Orihuela said he landed at 6:23 p.m. aboard an American Eagle flight on which the FBI was aboard , and will appear Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. in federal court in Miami . The 19-year-old 's arrival occurred a few hours after he pleaded guilty in a Bahamian court to a charge of illegally landing a plane , paid a $ 300 fine and was ordered deported , his lawyer said . A federal law enforcement official said the $ 300 came from a program for U.S. citizens abroad who are strapped for cash . Harris-Moore 's lawyer , Monique Gomez , said her fee was being paid not by her client but by `` an anonymous donor . '' `` He seems to be very remorseful , '' the lawyer told CNN in a telephone interview from Nassau about her client , who attended the court hearing wearing white sneakers , shorts and a T-shirt bearing the word `` Bahamas . '' Harris-Moore was taken into custody on Harbour Island in the Bahamas early Sunday . He is sought in a string of home and airport break-ins in various U.S. locations along with thefts of vehicles . Asked whether he acknowledges guilt in the other cases , his lawyer said , `` Let me put it this way -- he wishes he had done things a little differently in his life . '' Still , she added , he appeared `` in good spirits . '' Authorities in Madison County , Nebraska , issued an arrest warrant for Harris-Moore last month on charges of burglary and theft by unlawful taking or deception . The affidavit supporting the warrant alleges the youth waged a crime spree . He faces charges in Washington state in the theft of an aircraft , and police have said they believe he stole a Cessna in Indiana and flew it to the Bahamas , where it was found in the shallows off Abaco Island . The teen had been on the run since he escaped from a juvenile halfway house in Renton , Washington , in 2008 . The FBI had offered a $ 10,000 reward for information leading to his arrest . Typically in extradition cases , the accused makes a first appearance in the federal court closest to where he was arrested , said Emily Langlie , spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney 's Office in the Western District of Washington . The Southern District of Florida , in Miami , is the closest jurisdiction to the Bahamas , said Langlie . In his initial U.S. appearance , he will be told of his rights and read an initial charge of interstate transportation of stolen property , Langlie said . The complaint , which was sealed until last week , was filed last December and stems from his allegedly stealing a plane in Bonner 's Ferry , Idaho , and crashing it outside Granite Falls , Washington , she said . U.S. marshals will then take him to the Western District of Washington in Seattle . Under the federal system , the case will then go to a grand jury . If an indictment is returned , more charges could be filed . The federal charge of interstate transportation of stolen goods carries a penalty of up to 10 years . Federal prosecutors are working with other states to determine the best way to go forward in this case , but the Washington courts will get him first since he was arrested on their warrant , she said . Harris-Moore is called the `` barefoot bandit '' because he was without shoes when he allegedly broke into houses . He also was barefoot when apprehended in the Bahamas at the Romora Bay Resort and Marina by police responding to a reported sighting Sunday . The youth has amassed more than 80,000 Facebook fans . In December , Time magazine dubbed him `` America 's Most Wanted Teenage Bandit . '' Also , 20th Century Fox has purchased the rights for a film based on his exploits . Romora Bay officials said in a statement Harris-Moore arrived on Harbour Island from the nearby island of Eleuthera in a 15-foot skiff . The marina 's security director , Kenneth Strachan , reported seeing him running down the dock about 2 a.m. Sunday , carrying a gun . The young man told him , `` They 're going to kill me , '' Strachan reported . He put out a call for help . Guards disabled the skiff 's engine , but the young man attempted to steal a second boat , according to resort manager Anne Ward . However , he ran aground in the shallow water . Authorities surrounded him and shot out the boat 's engines , Ward said . `` At one point , the boy threw his computer in the water and put a gun to his head , '' she said in the statement . `` He was going to kill himself . Police talked him out of it . '' Authorities loaded him into a resort work truck and took him to a police station , the statement said . Police said a gun and other items were seized from him .
