Youth's lack of judgment
FAA Seeking Video Of Teen Flying Plane Over Graduation | Baltimore News | WBAL Radio 1090 AM
This won't end well for the teen.
I'm thinking that eyewitness accounts of the type repeated at around 1+45 of the embedded video are not very accurate.

Even if they determine that he was not within very close height of anyone on the ground, it is still a deliberate attempt to disrupt the crowd and it sounds like he was doing aerobatics too. He's done as a pilot, at least for a long time.

It's only a crime if they ask you and you mislead them.
If asked, you can refuse to talk based on the fifth amendment/Miranda, but you can't lie.
You are also not required to come forth without being asked and spill your guts just because of something you read on the internet. In certain cases (some federal felonies, some state crimes) you may be legally obligated to report the fact that a crime occurred, but they already know that in this case

Knowing someone is not evidence of what he did. Actually the video shows nothing about anything. If they get a radar altitude from him, that can do him in, otherwise you can't prosecute anyone without evidence. Non-pilots estimating altitudes is worthless. They don't know 50' from 500'. Hard to believe after that many passes a camera phone didn't get him (yet).
