A Florida man is facing multiple charges after authorities say he shot at a Walmart delivery drone.
The shooting happened in Clermont, about 26 miles west of Orlando.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office received a complaint about the ordeal Wednesday, the office said in a Facebook post . According to the caller, a bullet hole was found in the payload the drone was carrying.
Witnesses pointed authorities to 72-year-old Dennis Winn, who interviewed with officials and later admitted to shooting at the drone one time with a 9 mm pistol, the sheriff’s office said.
In police bodycam footage, Winn told police he tried to shoo the drone off and it didn’t go away, so he shot at it.
“I fired one round at it,” he said in the footage. “They say I hit it so I must be a good shot, or else it’s not that far away … I’m going to wind up having to find a real good defense lawyer.”
He was taken into custody and charged with shooting at an aircraft, criminal mischief damage over $1,000 and discharging a firearm in public or residential property, according to the sheriff’s office.
