Police charged suspect Sean Riddle with reckless endangerment. They said he was trying to take pictures and lost control of the aircraft.

Sean mentions the incident on his Twitter account!

I don’t really know where to start with this one sUAS News reader. I know you know better and that’s why you are here.

I can hear the excuses, it freaked man just did its own thing.

No thoughts of GPS multipathing, poor compass calibration due metal all around. All manner of RF devices competing to be heard.

I guess whatever he was flying didn’t have any form of geo fencing. I suspect pictures of the machine will emerge as the day progresses.
