West Palm pilot arrested, accused of smuggling radioactive material through
Fort Lauderdale

BY AMY SHERMAN

A West Palm Beach man has been indicted for smuggling radioactive hazardous
material on an airplane from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas.

Harold J. DeGregory, Jr. was arrested and appeared in federal Magistrate
Court in Miami Wednesday after a grand jury in Fort Lauderdale returned an
eight-count indictment charging him with conspiracy to transport and smuggle
air commerce property containing Iridium-192.

DeGregory, a 58-year-old pilot, was not licensed to handle the hazardous
material. Although Iridium-I92 has legitimiate industrial uses, it can pose
public health risks if not properly handled, according to the U.S.
Attorney's Office.

Defense attorney Ed O'Donnell says DeGregory wasn't involved in any
corruption and that this is merely a technical violation. DeGregory didn't
have a license to transport the hazardous material.

DeGregory was released after posting $50,000 bond Wednesday.
