A man in Florida got busted after cops say his illegal drug operation came crashing down Tuesday night … and, we mean that literally, ’cause he was arrested after his drone, allegedly carrying drugs, crashed into a house.
Hillsborough County sheriff’s deputies arrested 49-year-old Jason Brooks in Lutz, Florida — near Tampa — after they say they received a call from a homeowner about a man who was banging on their door late at night.
Body cam footage shows a man who cops say is Brooks telling deputies his drone is in the house’s backyard … and he knocked because he didn’t want to trespass.
JB might’ve been better off hopping the fence and trying to get the drone back under the cover of night though … ’cause the cops ended up arresting him — they say the device was filled up with methamphetamine and fentanyl.
It looks like one of the bags recovered from the drone read in big letters “Share This” … after all, sharing is caring — apparently even when it comes to hardcore narcotics!
Brooks was arrested on charges of possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell or deliver, operating an unregistered vehicle, and several other crimes.
Bottom line … sometimes new technology ain’t always the most efficient way to deliver a package — or to stay off the cops’ radar!
