The person who crashed an unmanned aerial vehicle on the White House grounds turned himself in, USA Today reported. The Secret Service is continuing to investigate the incident, but a spokesman said it appears it was just a matter of a recreational flight that went wrong.
The person called the Secret Service at about 9:30 a.m. to say he had been flying the device, a quad copter. The individual has been “fully cooperative,” according to the report.
Quadcopters, small UAVs for hobbyists, can cost less than $100.
