Colton Harris-Moore -- better known as the 'Barefoot Bandit ' -- waived extradition before a federal judge in Miami, Florida on Friday, and is headed back to his home state of Washington, RadarOnline.com has learned.
There, Harris-Moore faces charges for an alleged two-year crime spree, which officials say consisted of more than 70 break-ins and plane and boat thefts in eight states centered around the Pacific Northwest.
