| Resident shoots down neighbor's drone, says wife felt like it was watching her |
| 2015-10-08 |
| [THEADVOCATE] An Ascension Parish man hunting squirrels on his property Monday shot down a neighbor’s drone that had been flying over his home for several months, making his wife feel as though she was being watched. Question #1: Was she nekkid or a reasonable facsimile thereof? Aaron Hernandez, the owner of the drone, which was outfitted with a camera, said Tuesday he was flying his $1,200 remote-controlled quadcopter, which he got as a Christmas present last year, at his father’s home in a rural area off La. 936 early Monday evening when his neighbor shot it, disabling it at first, leaving it hovering in the sky. [BANG!]" Take a picture of that, neighbor!" Hernandez said he ran over to his neighbor’s property, saying he wouldn’t fly the drone again, but the neighbor, Derek Vidrine, blasted it out of the sky. [KERBLAM!] "Heh! They charge you money to shoot skeet!" Hernandez said he had his 7-year-old niece with him at the time and the incident frightened her. "Oh, Unkie! I'm ever so frightened!" He called the Sheriff’s Office. "Operator, gimme the police!" Vidrine said Hernandez has been flying the drone over his property for months. "Now, what's the trouble here?" "He shot down my drone, sheriff!" "He been flyin' that thing over my property for months!" Last week, he said, when his wife saw the drone flying above her, she rode her horse to the property line and told Hernandez to stop flying the machine over her property. "B'better knock it off, Hernandez! I'm tired of hearin' that thing fire up every time I splash into the pool!" “He said, ‘Call the cops.’ We called the cops,” Vidrine said. "Aw, call the cops! By the way, nice boobs!" The sheriff’s deputy that answered the call asked Hernandez to stop flying it over the neighbor’s land, Vidrine said. "Knock it off, Hernandez, or I'll run you in!" "Yes, officer! Of course! It was entirely inadvertent, really!" “Yesterday, he did it again,” Vidrine said Tuesday. [Bzzzzzzz!] "Derek! He's doin' it again!" Vidrine was out hunting when he first saw the drone. "I see it, honey!" [KERBLAMMO!] “It’s squirrel season. It was right there. I shot it,” Vidrine said. Squirrel season? You got a season to shoot pests in Louisiana? Who knew? “That’s where we’re at,” he added. $1200 worth of slow-moving skeet. |

| #3 Hmm, first get a more powerful transmitter. Take control, land it, switch the frequency settings. Problem solved. Plus you can return the favor and follow the neighbor around. |
