PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Police and security questioned a man who was flying a drone at Citizens Bank Park during a Philadelphia Phillies game.
The drone was spotted briefly above the third-base gate on Sunday.
Team security director Sal DeAngelis tells The Philadelphia Inquirer the drone did not fly over the field or disrupt the game.
DeAngelis says the man cooperated and was released without being charged. His drone, which had a camera attached, was confiscated, but will be returned.
Federal Aviation Administration rules bar flying drones below 3,000 feet and within three miles of large baseball or football stadiums.
