A man in New York has been accused of stalking a woman for several years using his small airplane.
Michael Arnold, 65, was arrested on Tuesday as he was driving into the William H. Morse State Airport in Bennington, Vermont.
Police said his single-engine Cessna 180 was at the airport, and he had been flying from there.
Arnold had been served with a temporary order of protection in May which prohibited him from flying any aircraft.
However, police say he continued to fly his plane and stalk the woman, who lives in Schuylerville, New York, about 30 miles away from the airport.
Arnold was charged with aggravated stalking, impeding, false information to a police officer, and resisting arrest. He posted $5,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.
The FBI in Albany notified Bennington police of the investigation and officers were able to determine that Arnold had been flying his plane from the airport and was last seen flying west toward New York several days earlier.
