Confederation College is reviewing its policies after a student stole a plane and flew over three states Monday.
Officials say the pilot, 31 year old Adam Leon, was trying to commit suicide by having U-S fighter jets shoot down his plane. College president Pat Lang says Leon had not shown any questionable behaviour.
"He was a good student," says Lang. "He was described as being very personable, very polite, very pleasant, very engaged. He's was described as an excellent students by his faculty members."
While the college is reviewing its policies, Lang says security was not compromised because aviation students have access to the airport hangar. Leon has been charged with transportation of stolen property and illegal entry. He'll appear in court in St. Louis on Friday.
