“From day one there was no evidence linking him to this plane.  The area where he was found that was his jurisdiction where he was working and the police stopped  him, he gave them certain information and the police did not believe him and they detained him, placed him in the pan of the pickup and minutes afterwards then the police heard a plane land and the police they pursued.”
