The pilot, Jerald Stansel, 75, died in the crash. (Photos courtesy NTSB) The holes appear to have been added to the floats, he said, although investigators are still looking into what purpose they served. He was released on $1,000 bail just days before the parade after allegedly beating up an ex-girlfriend, breaking her phone and running her over with the same SUV used in the attack.
