The quiet of the early morning skies over northern Mississippi on Saturday was broken by the sound of a circling twin-engine Aircraft — and police sirens.
Behind the controls of a stolen Aircraft was a man threatening to crash it into a Walmart.
He had posted an eerie message on Facebook, according to the New York Post. It began, “Sorry everyone.”
The man was identified as 29-year-old Cory Patterson by local law enforcement.
Patterson had posted to his now-restricted Facebook profile, “Sorry everyone. Never actually wanted to hurt anyone. I love my parents and sister this isn’t your fault. Goodbye.”
Fortunately, the incident ended with Patterson landing the Aircraft in a field and being placed under arrest with no casualties.
