A Kentucky father brought his shotgun out and dispatched an $1800 drone lingering over his property (repeatedly). Oh yeah. Forgot to mention that dad’s teenage daughter was sunbathing at the time. We can’t help but wonder if she was tanning topless in the privacy of her back yard.
Hmmm. Coincidence?
The owners of said whirlybird claim they were taking pictures of a friend’s house. Mmm hmmm. They actually had the audacity to get in the dad’s face and threaten him until he let them know further aggression from them would be met with ballistic therapy.
Dad was charged with criminal mischief and wanton endangerment for firing his boomstick at the intruding robotic peeping Tom. He was not charged for warning the pissed off perverts to back off or he’d perforate them.
Dad says he’s going to fight the charges.
The Washington Times picked up the story:
A Kentucky man shot down an $1800 drone hovering over his sunbathing daughter and was then arrested and charged with first degree criminal mischief and first degree wanton endangerment.
“My daughter comes in and says, ‘Dad, there’s a drone out here flying,” William H. Merideth, 47, told a local Fox News affiliate reported Tuesday. The Bullitt County father shot at the drone, which crashed in a field near his yard Sunday night.
The owner of the drone claims he was only trying to take pictures of a friend’s house, the station reported.
“I went and got my shotgun and I said, ‘I’m not going to do anything unless it’s directly over my property,’” Mr. Merideth said, noting that the drone briefly disappeared when his daughter waved it off. “Within a minute or so, here it came. It was hovering over top of my property, and I shot it out of the sky. I didn’t shoot across the road, I didn’t shoot across my neighbor’s fences, I shot directly into the air.”
