He Reportedly Injured A Federal Agent Attempting To Re-Enter The U.S.

28-year-old Joshua Paul Calhoun allegedly stole an airplane, crashed it in the Texas desert, and told authorities he had bought it online when questioned about the incident.

But Calhoun's problems don't end there. He's currently being sought on federal charges that he injured a federal agent while attempting to cross back into the U.S. from Mexico and fleeing from prosection.

The Tyler Morning Telegraph reports that Calhoun in under indictment for the March 4th theft of an airplane from Athens Municipal Airport, which he crashed in a field shortly after takeoff. He failed to show up for a court hearing, and it was determined he was in Mexico.

Henderson County District Attorney Scott McKee told the paper "According to a criminal complaint filed in the United States District Court, the same day Calhoun was due in court, he attempted to re-enter the United States at the international bridge between Mexico and the U.S. in Roma. When questioned about the purpose of his trip to Mexico, Calhoun told agents he was a doctor who had gone south of the border to scout locations for a new office, according to the federal complaint."

When he tried to return to the U.S., he was stopped and asked about the nature of his trip to Mexico. After checking a federal criminal database, agents asked Calhoun to step aside for further questioning. "Immigration agents asked him to step outside of his truck, but Calhoun took off instead. A female agent, who had reached into the driver's side window for the keys, sustained bruises, a scratched right elbow and back injuries before the truck managed to shake her loose," McKee said.

Calhoun, who remains at large, is now facing federal charges for his flight from the Border patrol.
