Seekonk pilot faces charges




SEEKONK - A local pilot landed himself in hot water after landing his airplane Monday afternoon on a secure military runway at Otis Air Force Base in Bourne.

Brian P. Dedrick, 26, of 54 Sagamore Road, who was piloting his single engine Cessna 172 Skyhawk, was not injured and detained by members of the 102nd Fighter Wing until state police arrived, state police in Bourne said.

Dedrick was arrested and charged with trespassing, disorderly conduct, and two counts of possession of a dangerous weapon - double edged knives, state police said. He was taken into custody without incident, police added. It was unclear why he landed at Otis.

The unauthorized landing was reported by the 102nd Fighter Wing at 2:20 p.m., according to the state police.

The Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission is investigating the crash.
