A Florida man is now facing charges after being accused of trying to shoot down a Walmart delivery drone. Even if it annoys you, you aren’t allowed to do that!

It might seem like Skeet shooting and good target practice, but you can’t fire shots at the Walmart delivery drone! He didn’t just fire at it, he hit it! However, that doesn’t really matter as it’s illegal whether you miss or hit the target. You can learn more on the story and see his mugshot below!

Florida Man Allegedly Tries To Shoot Down Walmart Delivery Drone

According to WESH, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office received a complaint about a Walmart delivery drone that was shot. There was reportedly a bullet hole in the payload that the drone was carrying. Eventually, witnesses were able to identify Dennis Winn as the suspect and directed deputies his way which was also the location of the incident, per WESH.

After some discussion, WESH reports Winn admitted to police that he shot the drone with a 9mm pistol. He was taken into custody and charged with shooting an aircraft, criminal mischief damage over $1K, and discharging a firearm on public or residential property. There is no information on his motive or why he wanted to shoot down the Walmart delivery drone. Perhaps it scared him? He could have been threatened by it? Or it could have just been an excuse for some target practice. No matter what the reasoning or logic was in his head, you are not allowed to do this.

Back in 2022, Walmart announced it would be rolling out drone deliveries in the state of Florida via a company called DroneUp, per Click Orlando. You can check out Dennis Winn’s mugshot from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office below. Don’t try this at home! Just let the drones do their thing, they aren’t a threat to you.

When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
