The warrant was issued because Ingram allegedly is behind in payments for his car.
"I have every receipt," Ingram said Thursday. "I' don't have a payment due on. that car until the 20th of next month."
"I feel confused, really confused," Ingram said Thursday. "And I feel pretty unlucky. I'm not angry; I'm kind of hurt. I really care what people think about me."
Ingram said he bought his car from a new car salesman, paid $200 or $300 down, and arranged for financing.

Misfortune Dogs the Family That Found Part of Skyjacker's Money By Michael Sweeney
Harold Dwayne Ingram, 28, father of the 8-year-old boy who found part of skyjacker D.B. Cooper's ransom money last month, has been arrested in Vancouver, Wash., on a fugitive warrant from Oklahoma.
The warrant charges Ingram with unlawfully remov- ing mortgaged property from the state of Oklahoma - a felony charge that carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison.
· Clark County sheriff's deputies arrested Ingram at his rented home in Vancouver Monday afternoon. He was released Tuesday night after a local bail bondsman posted Ingram's $500 bail, sheriff's deputies said.
Kathy Kelly, a legal assistant in the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney's office, said Ingram is scheduled to appear in county district court April 17 for an identification hearing to determine
Kathy Kelly, a legal assistant in the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney's office, said Ingram is scheduled to appear in county district court April 17 for an identification hearing to determine if he is, in fact, the same Harold Ingram sought in Oklahoma.
If he is, Kelly said, Oklahoma authorities will have 60

ndays to file extradition papers to force Ingram's return to Oklahoma for trial.
Kelly said court documents filed by authorities in ; Pittsburg County, Okla., last April charge that Ingram vowed $618 then on a used car purchased a month earlier in MeAlester, Okla.
The warrant for Ingram's arrest was filed last month, after Pittsburg County District Attorney Don Roberts recognized newspaper photos of Ingram that circulated nationwide in the wake of his family's discovery of a portion of D.B. Cooper's loot.
Cooper parachuted into a freezing rainstorm over Southwest Washington with $200,000 after hijacking a Seattle-bound Northwest Airlines plane Nov. 24, 1971.
Ingram's son, Brian, unearthed several thousand dol- lars of the ransom money Feb.
over Southwest Washington with $200,000 after hijacking a Seattle-bound Northwest Airlines plane Nov. 24, 1971.
Ingram's son, Brian, unearthed several thousand dol- lars of the ransom money Feb. 10, as he dug a fire pit in the sand along the banks of the Columbia River down- stream from Vancouver.
The next day, Ingram turned the money over to the FBI, which announced the find with great fanfare at a press conference featuring the Ingram family.

Ingram's arrest is the latest in a string of reversals that have followed his family's brief glow in the lime- light.

Ingram told The P-I that recovery of the skyjack Joot also resulted in family strife that arose when a relative tried to take credit for finding the money.
Late Saturday night, about 36 hours before Ingram was arrested, a fire broke out in an upstairs bedroom of the Ingram home and caused $1,000 damage before Vancouver firefighters could put it out.
Vancouver Fire Marshal Gordon Gage said the blaze was caused by a short in an extension cord.
. And as of yesterday, Ingram had missed three days of work this week at the U-Cart Concrete Manufacturing Co. in Vancouver.
"We're trying to reach him, because we really want to help him," U-Cart owner Joe Tanner said yesterday. Tanner said his firm intends to advance Ingram the money "to get this thing in Oklahoma squared away.
"We think he's getting a tum rap," Tanner said. "I'm from Texas, and I've got a little knowlege about these Southern redneck laws that let a D.A. help busi- nessmen collect their debts," he said.
"I've been told he (Ingram) has been making pay-i ments on this car loan, and he's only a couple of payments behind," Tanner said.

Covington told The P-I yesterday that he sold the car in question to Ingram for $800 last March.
"Mr. Ingram paid $200 down on the car, financed the rest through GMAC (the General Motors Acceptance Corp.), and never made another payment," Covington : said.

Harold Dwayne Ingram, 28, father of the &-year-old boy who found part of skyjacker D.B. Cooper's ransom money last month, has been arrested in Vancouver, Wash., on a fugitive warrant from Oklahoma.
The warrant charges Ingram with unlawfully remov. ing mortgaged property from the state of Oklahoma - a felony charge that carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison.
· Clark County sheriff's deputies arrested Ingram at his rented home in Vancouver Monday afternoon. He was released Tuesday night after a local bail bondsman posted Ingram's $500 bail, sheriff's deputies said.
Kathy Kelly, a legal assistant in the Clark County Prosecuting Attorney's office, said Ingram is scheduled to appear in county district court April 17 for an identification bearing to determine if he is, in fact, the same Harold

Kelly said court documents filed by authorities in .; Pittsburg County, Okla., last April charge that Ingram "owed $615 thea on a used car purchased a month earlier in MeAlester, Okla. !
The warrant for Ingram's arrest was filed last month, after Pittsburg County District Attorney Don Roberts recognized newspaper photos of Ingram that circulated nationwide in the wake of his family's discovery of a portion of D.B. Cooper's loot.
Cooper parachuted into a freezing rainstorm over; Southwest Washington with $200,000 after hijacking a Seattle-bound Northwest Airlines plane Nov. 24, 1971. ,

Ingram's son, Brian, unearthed several thousand dol- lars of the ransom money Feb. 10, as he dug a fire pit in the sand along the banks of the Columbia River down- stream from Vancouver.
The next day, Ingram turned the money over to the FBI, which announced the find with great fanfare at a press conference featuring the Ingram family.
"Several of us read the paper and recognized bim," Roberts told The Associated Press. "We had a warrant sworn out to have him brought back."

THE CRIME
On November 24, 1971, a lone white male boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland, Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb which would blow up the plane unless his demands were met.
The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After he received the parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.
He then ordered the remaining crew members into the first-class section of the aircraft and informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The hijacker instructed that the plane proceed in a southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow speed which would enable the rear door of the

The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane.
The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After he received the parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.
He then ordered the remaining crew members into the first-class section of the aircraft and informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The hijacker instructed that the plane. proceed in a southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow speed which would enable the rear door of the plane (Boeing 727) to be opened during the flight.

Enclosed are four (4) artists composites, two black and white, and two color, depicting the NORJAK unsub, aka DAN COOPER, D.B. COOPER, with and without glasses.
THE CRIME
On November 24, 1971, a lone white male boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland, Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb which would blow up the plane unless his demands were met.
The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane.
The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After he received the parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.
He then ordered the remaining crew members into the first-class section of the aircraft and informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The hijacker instructed that the plane proceed in a southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow speed which would enable the rear door of the plane (Boeing 727) to be opened during the flight.

THE CRIME
On November 24, 1971, a lone white male boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland, Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb which would blow up the plane unless his demands were met.
The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions.
When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After he received the parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.
He then ordered the remaining crew members into the first-class section of the aircraft and informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The hijacker instructed that the plane proceed in a southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow speed which would enable the rear door of the plane (Boeing 727) to be opened during the flight.

Enclosed are four (4) artists composites, two black and white, and two color, depicting the NORJAK unsub, aka DAN COOPER, D.B. COOPER, with and without glasses.
THE CRIME
On November 24, 1971, a lone white male boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland, Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb which would blow up the plane unless his demands were met.
The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After he received the parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.
After he received the parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.
He then ordered the remaining crew members into the first-class section of the aircraft and informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The hijacker instructed that the plane proceed in a southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow speed which would enable the rear door of the plane (Boeing 727) to be opened during the flight.

Enclosed are four (4) artists composites, two black and white, and two color, depicting the NORJAK unsub, aka DAN COOPER, D.B. COOPER, with and without glasses.
THE CRIME
On November 24, 1971, a lone white male boarded Northwest Orient Flight #305 at Portland, Oregon. At approximately 3:22 P.M., while the flight was en route to Seattle, Washington, he indicated to the stewardess that his brief case contained a bomb which would blow up the plane unless his demands were met.
The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers
The hijacker demanded $200,000 and four parachutes in exchange for the safety of the 36 passengers aboard the plane. When the aircraft landed at Seattle, Washington, Northwest Orient Airlines complied with his instructions. After he received the parachutes and the money, the hijacker allowed all passengers and two airline stewardesses to deplane.
He then ordered the remaining crew members into the first-class section of the aircraft and informed them he desired to fly to Mexico City. The hijacker instructed that the plane proceed in a southerly direction and fly at a low altitude and slow speed which would enable the rear door of the plane (Boeing 727) to be opened during the flight.
