The operator of a drone that forced a CHP helicopter pilot to take evasive action Saturday night could face federal prosecution, according to law enforcement officials.
A CHP helicopter searching for a stolen vehicle was flying above eastbound Highway 4 in Martinez at about 9 p.m. when the pilot spotted a red light outside of the cabin, straight ahead, and very close, said Officer James Andrews, spokesman for the CHP air operations unit.
With the holidays approaching, should we be worried with millions of drones being sold to the public?Â
