Florida Man Will Appear in Federal Court After Landing Gyrocopter at U.S. Capitol

Continuing coverage this morning about a Florida man who landed a gyrocopter at the U.S. Capitol.

Douglas Hughes went before a judge on six charges Wednesday.

He was arrested in April after flying through miles of America’s most restricted airspace.

Hughes says he intended to call attention to the influence of money in politics.

His stunt also led to a congressional hearing that discovered a gap in ensuring building safety.

Today he will appear in federal court in Washington.
