Parker, of Holly Hill, allegedly drove his Ford Mustang through the gate and across an active taxiway toward Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University before ditching his car and trying to board at least two planes, according to the Daytona Beach International Airport<\/a> and Fox35. <\/a><\/p>\n

The attempted plane jacker nearly hit a student-training plane on the taxiway during the chaotic incident that occurred in the span of just four minutes, the outlet and airport officials said.<\/p>\n

In bodycam footage, Deputies and airport officials were seen wrangling a barefoot Parker as he told cops that he couldn\u2019t remember what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t remember. I was at my house. I went to an AA meeting, and next thing I know, I\u2019m doing cocaine, drinking, and smoking pot,\u201d he said in the video released by the department. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo you were doing all kinds of drugs and ran through a gate?\u201d a deputy asks him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah and I crashed my car,\u201d Parker replied.<\/p>\n

But the apparently forgetful joyrider asked \u201cwhat happened?\u201d just moments later, after he was handcuffed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s my car doing over there. What the f\u2013k is my car doing over there?\u201d he muttered as police hauled him into the back of a patrol car. <\/p>\n

Nobody was hurt during the alleged drug-fueled tirade, authorities said. <\/p>\n

Parker was hit with a laundry list of charges, including attempted aircraft piracy, burglary of a conveyance, felony trespass (airport), exposure of a sexual organ, criminal mischief, DUI property damage, and refusal to submit to testing, police said. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to commend the eyewitnesses who immediately called 911 to report the incident, and the Air Traffic Controller who quickly reported the suspicious vehicle and took action to ensure the safety of airfield operations,\u201d Daytona Beach International Airport wrote in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe safety and security of the traveling public is always Daytona Beach International Airport\u2019s number one priority,\u201d the airport said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand there are many questions about yesterday\u2019s incident.
