Joseph Goldman, 43, is set to appear in court tomorrow for a bail hearing following his alleged attempt to steal a private jet at Martin State Airport. The incident, which has raised serious security concerns, involves an aircraft belonging to David Smith, the Executive Chairman of Sinclair Broadcast Group.

According to police reports, Goldman faces five charges after allegedly entering the cockpit of Smith’s jet and donning a headset. The unauthorized access was discovered by the plane’s pilot, who confronted Goldman. In response, the suspect reportedly attempted to flee but was quickly apprehended by authorities.

This is not Goldman’s first brush with the law. His criminal record includes a 2016 conviction for child sex abuse, adding a troubling dimension to the current case. Following his arrest, a search of Goldman’s residence uncovered several illegal firearms and a silencer, further complicating his legal situation.

As of now, investigators have not disclosed any information regarding Goldman’s potential motives for the attempted theft. The incident has prompted questions about airport security measures and the vulnerability of private aircraft to unauthorized access.

The upcoming bail hearing is expected to shed more light on the case and determine whether Goldman will remain in custody as legal proceedings continue. Local authorities and airport officials are likely to face scrutiny over how an individual with a criminal history managed to gain access to a private jet on the tarmac.
