Georgia man accused of shooting, damaging workers’ $15K drone<\/h3>\n
A Newnan man was arrested after police said he fired shots and damaged a crew\u2019s $15,000 drone while they were using it to photograph their work Friday.<\/p>\n
Coweta County sheriff\u2019s deputies said they were dispatched about 12:10 p.m. to the 60 block of Fuller Gordon Road, where two employees for Georgia Transmission said they were working on towers and power lines when 35-year-old Edward Neil Pope shot at the drone they were using.<\/p>\n
According to a police report, the employees told Pope beforehand they would be working in the area, which he said he understood.<\/p>\n
While flying the drone, one of the workers said he heard three shots. When the drone landed, they saw two gunshots had destroyed the device\u2019s $600 battery. The landing gear was also shot at least once, the police report indicated. They told deputies they were unsure whether only the landing gear would need to be replaced or the entire drone, which they said is worth $15,000.<\/p>\n
When one of the employees returned to his vehicle, he heard another gunshot and pellets hitting a nearby tree and the top of his truck, authorities said. The workers confronted Pope, who denied shooting the drone, the police report stated. The employees then called police when they saw a long shotgun in one of the cars in Pope\u2019s yard, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Deputies said when they failed to contact Pope, they spoke to his neighbors who told them they\u2019ve had issues with the man harassing family members and also placing spike strips in the street.<\/p>\n
Around 5 p.m., deputies said they made contact with Pope, who denied shooting the drone although authorities said there were two eyewitnesses, the police report said.<\/p>\n
Pope was eventually arrested after a brief struggle and sent to the Coweta County jail, authorities said. He was charged with reckless conduct and criminal damage to property in the second degree.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Porter County [Indiana] police say 30-year-old Craig Adams appeared cooperative at first when they attempted to take him into custody on an active warrant.<\/p>\n
But as police tried to place Adams in handcuffs, he reportedly tensed up, pulled away and punched an officer in the thigh\/groin area, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Seattle cop car set on fire with officer inside, man arrested<\/h3>\n
A man set a Seattle police vehicle ablaze in an alley Thursday while an officer was inside, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The officer was in a neighborhood near the downtown area when they were alerted around 1:30 p.m. by someone concerned about a man holding what appeared to be a “torch,” Seattle police Sgt. Randy Huserik told Fox News.<\/p>\n
A man was found with a flaming piece of lumber believed to be two-by-two feet, which he threw inside the vehicle while the officer was inside, police said.<\/p>\n
“As officers went up to contact him, he was somehow able to get the torch into a sensitive area of the patrol car that it caught fire,” Huserick said.<\/p>\n
Responding officers chased the man into a parking garage where they used a Taser to subdue him. One officer is believed to have opened fire but the suspect wasn’t hit, the Seattle Police Department said.<\/p>\n
As the man was being arrested, the flames from the burning lumber engulfed the entire police vehicle. The officer inside was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening burns.<\/p>\n
Authorities searched nearby buildings to ensure no one else was injured.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
