UK law student charged with wanton endangerment for crashing drone into CWS

Remember the drone that crashed into Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday? UK police charged Peyton Wilson, a 24-year-old law student from Louisville, with wanton endangerment for crashing the drone into the stadium just before kickoff. According to the police, Wilson was standing outside the stadium operating the drone with it crashed into the suite level glass.

No one was injured and the stadium was not damaged; however, one of the parachutists bringing the American flags into the stadium told police he had to take emergency evasive maneuvers to avoid contact with the drone, which was at one point 20 feet within his parachute.
