Mardi Grass

Must Have Been Something He Eight

A sheriff's deputy in Sherman, Texas, arrested a man accused of getting into a small private plane and doing figure-eights on the grass at Tanglewood Airstrip. Bond was set at $1500 for Robert Gene Walker. Walker told the deputy that he was driving past and noticed the plane on the runway. The deputy said Walker ``found the keys inside'' and started the plane, which eventually ended up nose-down in the grass.
