A Long Island man was arrested Saturday after he allegedly opened fire on a drone that was being used to find a lost dog Saturday. Police in Suffolk County, N.Y. arrested Gerard Chasteen, 26, after he allegedly fired three shots at a drone deployed by Missing Angels-Long Island, an organization that searches for wayward pets, NBC New York reports. Missing Angels-Long Island was using a Mavic 2 Zoom drone about 4:45 p.m. when it suddenly stopped working. Members tracked their drone to a street in St. James, N.Y.
