Adam Leon, 31, is being held without bond after allegedly stealing a plane from a Canadian flight school.
It ended about seven hours later in a Midwestern town of 360 people inside a general store off a narrow, dirt road -- with the suspect sipping on a Gatorade, waiting to be cuffed.
"He just came in, got a Gatorade, tried to get a beef jerky, didn't have enough money, went over and sat down and just kind of watched people come and go," said Tammy Bailey of Simmons Grocery & Hardware in Ellsinore in southern Missouri.
Authorities said they caught up there with Adam Leon, 31, after his 783-mile journey in the stolen Cessna 172 aircraft on Monday.
