TAMPA — A Panama City Beach man is facing several charges after he allegedly tried to steal two planes from a Tampa airport and then crashed a fuel truck into a hangar, according to police reports.

Drew Bronnenberg, 28, was arrested Saturday after the failed airplane heist. The Tampa Police Department reported the incident started about 10:30 p.m. at Peter O. Knight Airport, 825 Severn Drive. They reported Bronnenberg first entered a hangar, pulled out a Piper PA-12 valued at $60,000 and tried to start it. He failed to start that aircraft, however, and then attempted to steal an ICON A5 valued at $285,000.

After both attempts were unsuccessful, Bronnenberg drove a golf cart to the airport’s fuel pumps and started a fuel truck, police reported. He drove the truck back to one of the hangars and crashed it into the side of the building, causing about $250 in damage to the structure. He then left and was arrested minutes later.

Bronnenberg has posted a combined $26,000 bond on 11 charges, including burglary, grand theft and criminal mischief, court records stated. His occupation is listed as a lifeguard, and Federal Aviation Administration records indicate Bronnenberg does not have a pilot’s license.

You can almost bet this winner has been in jail in Ohio or Michigan or Pennsylvania. It’s SOP for the northeast, Ohio valley and upper Midwest to send their felons to Florida.

Quite an ambitious plan for someone without a pilot's license.

So all the guy did was sit in a few planes and drive a truck around with only $250 in damages? I don't see a problem here.

$250 in damage after crashing into it with a fuel truck? Was this about a dude playing with his G.I. Joe Battle Corps Special Force Airplane set?

I’ve done exactly what he did while playing one of the “Grand Theft Auto” games, and I’m thinking that’s exactly where he got the idea.

but on TV it looked so easy, just hop in the plane and take off

i would say the idiot must have thought its the same as driving a car but he wrecked the fuel truck so maybe he cant drive a car either
