( CNN ) -- Accused `` barefoot bandit '' Colton Harris-Moore was indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury in connection with a series of airplane and boat thefts in the Pacific northwest , federal prosecutors in Washington state said . The 19-year-old gained notoriety for allegedly stealing planes and flying without a pilot 's certificate -- sometimes without shoes . The teen had been on the run since he walked away from a juvenile halfway house in Renton , Washington , in 2008 , according to court records . He was captured on July 11 in the Bahamas after flying 1,000 miles in a stolen plane from Indiana , authorities said .

He is also charged with interstate and foreign transportation of a stolen firearm for allegedly stealing a .32 caliber pistol in Canada and carrying it into Idaho and on the stolen plane he flew to the Granite Falls area , according to the indictment . In addition , Harris-Moore is accused of piloting an aircraft without an airman 's certificate for a flight he allegedly made in a stolen plane from Anacortes to Eastsound , Washington , on February 10 , 2010 . Another charge relates to allegations that he stole a 34-foot boat in Ilwaco , Washington , and sailed to Oregon on May 31 , 2010 , the indictment says . He faces a weapons possession charge for allegedly carrying a Jennings .22 caliber pistol while he was a fugitive between October 1 , 2009 , and May 6 , 2010 .

Piloting an aircraft without an airman 's certificate is punishable by up to three years in prison . At a court appearance in July shortly after Harris-Moore 's capture , his lawyer said his client does not want to be considered a role model , despite Facebook sites dedicated to him with thousands of fans . `` He was scared , '' John Henry Browne said at the time . `` He 's very bright , '' the lawyer said , describing his client . `` But probably not very mature .
