A Florida Man... Obviously Was Arrested While Droning While Intoxicated

Police say that Richard Carpenter, a 34-year-old contractor, was operating a drone around 12:20 AM Monday when he recklessly buzzed victim John Murray’s vehicle, which was parked near Carpenter’s St. Petersburg apartment complex.
The “small, unmanned aerial system” flew back and forth past the open driver’s side window of Murray’s Infiniti sedan, reported police, who added that the drone’s blades “spin at a high rate of speed and could cause significant injury if it was to strike the victim.”
When questioning Carpenter, an officer reported that the suspect smelled of alcohol and displayed signs of impairment like slurred speech and glassy eyes. Carpenter reportedly admitted to drinking before his late-night sorties (an account confirmed by his girlfriend).
I doubt the girlfriend if she was there, and was probably ready to find another male.
Maybe she's pretty. You never know.
