SEATTLE (AP) -- New federal court documents say the "Barefoot Bandit" ridiculed police and prosecutors in emails he sent from prison. That's according to the Tacoma News-Tribune in Washington.

Colton Harris-Moore
 also bragged about his two-year crime spree, saying that his flying accomplishments were "amazing" and unmatched by anyone except the Wright brothers.

Harris-Moore was sentenced last month in state court to seven years. He'll be sentenced on Friday for his federal crimes.

The 20-year-old gained international attention by stealing five planes, more than a dozen cars, several boats and broke into homes and businesses before his 2010 arrest following a shootout in the Bahamas.

The crime spree allegedly brought him through the Tri-States.
