SEATTLE (AP) -- The man known as the "Barefoot Bandit" was back in court Thursday in Mount Vernon, Washington.

Colton Harris-Moore pleaded not guilty Thursday to a single charge of second-degree burglary.

Take a look at the video above for more information.

Harris-Moore, 20-years-old at the time, 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.

He was sentenced to seven-years in prison as part of a 2011 plea deal for charges against him in three Washington counties.

Harris-Moore was nicknamed the "Barefoot Bandit" after police found his bare footprints at crime scenes.

The crime spree allegedly brought Harris-Moore through the Tri-States when a car authorities believed he stole turned up in Pella, Iowa.

A car from Ottumwa, Iowa was stolen and later found between Dallas City and Niota, Illinois.

Just after that, The Burlington Hawkeye reported that a stolen truck, taken from the Southeast Iowa Regional Airport, was later found near Danville, Illinois.
