Man shoots down a drone flying over his backyard
Kentucky man William Merideth has no mercy for drones hovering in his backyard.
Mr. Merideth used his shotgun to fire three shots in an attempt to take out a drone that approached his property.
In an interview with Ars Technica, the man commented the following:
"It was hovering, I would never have shot it if it was flying. When he came down with a video camera right over my back deck, that's not going to work. I know they're neat little vehicles, but one of those uses shouldn't be flying into people's yards and videotaping."
According to the man, a few minutes after he shot the drone, a group of men approached him looking for a confrontation over the shooting. Mr. Merideth threatened the men with his gun and they waited until the police arrived.
The man was arrested for criminal mischief and wanton endangerment. He also had to pay $1,800 for the drone he destroyed.
