Ann Arbor – Richard Sheridan was glancing around Michigan Stadium and happened to look up during Michigan’s season opener last Saturday night, when something strange caught his attention.

Sheridan, a season-ticket holder, spotted a drone. It is illegal to fly drones on the University of Michigan campus. There were two individuals arrested for the drone activity, according to Melissa Overton, the University of Michigan deputy chief of police. The ordinance violation was reported Saturday at 10:17 p.m.

“We made contact with the drone pilots that night and made two arrests,” Overton told The Detroit News.
