LOWER TWP. - A man flying a remote control drone in Lower Township on Friday says he suddenly lost control, after his drone was shot down by his neighbor, according to police.

The man was reportedly taking aerial photographs of his friend's home which is under construction, when he told authorities he heard several shots consistent with a shotgun blast.

Police say they arrested 32-year-old Russell J Percenti, of Lower Township, and charged him with possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and criminal mischief.

Authorities seized the shotgun used to shoot down the drone.
