BOSTON – Two people were arrested Saturday night in Boston for what police describe as a "hazardous drone operation."
Robert Duffy, 42, of Charlestown, and 32-year-old Jeremy Folcik of Bridgewater were arrested on Long Island in Boston Harbor.
Both men are charged with trespassing. Additional fines or charges could be added, Boston police said.
Boston drone arrests
According to Boston police, an officer spotted an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) flying close to Logan Airport. The officer was able to find the drone's location, altitude, flight history and track the operator to Long Island.
Because the drones were close to the Logan Airport airspace, Boston police worked with Homeland Security, Massachusetts State Police, the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and Logan Airport Air Traffic Control as part of its investigation.
Three people were found inside the Long Island Health Campus, which is no longer in operation.
When police arrived, they say one of the suspects ran. Duffy and Folcik were taken into custody. Officers said they found a drone inside Duffy's backpack. The third suspect is believed to have fled the area on a small boat.
Duffy and Folcik are scheduled to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court in the coming days.
Drones in Massachusetts
Boston police reminded the public that recreational drone operators must follow FAA guidelines. Drones cannot be flown over people or vehicles, and operators must follow airspace restrictions.

These appear to be small, hobbyists drones.
This will clear up all the ignorance on the subject.

But they can't do the same for a bunch of others...
It’s a start.
“Three people were found inside the Long Island Health Campus, which is no longer in operation.”
I suppose Pedo Joe is going to want to pardon these two clowns before he starts his new job somewhere else.
“Officers said they found a drone inside Duffy’s backpack.”
It must have been HUGE!
Will Joe go back to teaching at Penn?
I didn't see that on my first read, so I thought ithey were flying from New York's Long Island, which is not a hobbyist drone range.
Robert Duffy, 42, of Charlestown, and 32-year-old Jeremy Folcik ^^ ^^
Childhood maturity never leaves some people.
The government finds drone operators. Unless the government doesn’t want to.
This is solid evidence that NJ/NY drone thing is just the US government running an operation and refusing to be honest about it.
But the car-sized drones of unknown provenance are nothing to worry about.
At this point in the hysteria arc anybody with a toy drone can cause a War Of The Worlds size panic. Some do.
lol
The size of a car.
The guy was big :)
MQ-1 OR MQ-9-—?
Ahhhh. The small touch of realism pulled into a fake widespread UFO/Drone story concoction. Why is it legacy media is pushing this now. What are they hiding and diverting attention from?
“the car-sized drones of unknown provenance are nothing to worry about”
They can be found in monster size back-packs—carried around by Bigfoot.
Lol.
Found a map of it.
