Narrative:
Aircraft X called from FBO to taxi for departure. Aircraft X told to 'taxi to runway 23 for an intersection departure at taxiway Y -- the same intersection that you cleared the runway from.' aircraft X started taxiing, then turned his navigation lights off. I lost sight of aircraft X and spotted him using binoculars taxiing at high speed toward the runway. I transmitted 4 times to aircraft X telling the pilot to stop, but he wasn't on the ground or local frequency. He was on departure frequency, who finally got him to stop, after aircraft X had crossed runway 23 (the active runway). Aircraft X called me on ground. I got him turned around and taxied to the runway. Aircraft X called tower, was cleared for takeoff, and tried to depart the wrong way. Local got aircraft X straightened out and he departed for his home airport, sidney, oh (I12).
