Alleged reckless droning
State Police say Adam Rupeka of Troy crashed a drone into a chimney of the Capitol building in September, and the remote control device ended up on the building's roof. NYSP says Rupeka was arraigned this Wednesday morning on two reckless endangerment charges, both misdemeanors, for the alleged incident. (And, yep, Rupeka is the same guy who was the center of the recent middle finger/pepper spray incident with a police officer in Saratoga Springs that prompted a $50k settlement from the city.)

I am guessing this guy collects unemployment and lives in a basement. I don't like to profile...but c'mon get a life.

You can buy a lot of drones for $50k.

How about a $50k fine and return the money back to the taxpayers?

Yeah.....I don't want to profile either, but this person's continuous actions aren't painting him in a very good light. Guess he follows the misguided credence that any attention is good attention.
