Suspicious incident. A 29-year-old Ormond Beach woman called police from a local restaurant, upset that a man was flying a drone over the beach.
The woman said the drone video had captured the pool of a nearby hotel, according to a police report. She said the man eventually deleted the video after she and others "berated him over it" and called him a pedophile. The report notes the drone pilot was very distraught and left the restaurant.
Restaurant staff told the reporting officer that the drone pilot was a regular customer and that they had nothing bad to say about him. Staff added that the pilot often comes by to photograph live bands and the beach.
The officer noted in his report that he tried to explain to the woman that what the drone pilot had done was no different than what she did when she filmed and took photos of him to show police.
