A Georgia man has pleaded guilty to using a drone to try and drop a bag of marijuana into a prison, the first known criminal prosecution of a case under a drone registration law.
A Georgia man pleaded guilty on Thursday to using a drone to try and drop a bag of marijuana into a prison, federal prosecutors said.Eric Lee Brown, 35, of Lithonia, pleaded guilty to a single count of “operating an aircraft eligible for registration knowing that the aircraft is not registered to facilitate a controlled substance offense,” the U.S.
Brown was not charged with using the drone to actually drop the drugs into the Autry State Prison in Pelham in March 2018. But he admitted that he intended to deliver drugs to the prison, according to court documents. Cellphone searches allegedly revealed that Brown exchanged text messages with someone about getting the drone, which was purchased a week before his arrest, and using it to transport marijuana.
