A man who delayed an NFL game while taking drone selfies now faces federal charges, prosecutors said.
Matthew Hebert, 44, mistakenly thought he was allowed to fly his drone at the time, per prosecutors.
AdvertisementA 44-year-old man faces up to four years in federal prison after he flew a drone over a National Football League game in Baltimore, federal prosecutors said on Monday.
Hebert flew the drone at around 330 feet for about two minutes, and took at least six photos of himself and the stadium, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said Hebert "relied exclusively on the DJI application" to know if he was allowed to fly the drone.
