The Bethel man who piloted an airplane drunk last year from Danbury to Westchester was sentenced Wednesday to one year in prison. Philippe Patricio, 21, stole a plane from Danbury Municipal Airport in June and took two teens on a joyride before landing at Westchester County Airport. At his sentencing in White Plains, NY, Patricio did not respond when the judge told him that he needed to readjust his attitude or he may hurt himself or someone else. Patricio still faces charges in Connecticut. The two teens involved in the incident have been charged with circumventing airport security.
