DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — A drone enthusiast was arrested after a security guard caught him climbing onto the roof of a Downtown Brooklyn building to fly the remote-controlled aircraft, police said.
The 43-year-old was arrested on Sept. 14 around 6:30 p.m. after being found on the seventh floor of the closed office building at 9 Bond St., the NYPD said.
The security guard told police he caught the man trying to fly a drone on the same building’s rooftop a month ago.
He was charged with trespassing but pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct at his Sept. 16 arraignment and was released, court records show.
