CROCKETT COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFFS RECEIVED COMPLAINTS OF A LOW FLYING HELICOPTER OPERATING ERRATICALLY OVER THE CITY OF OZONA AND BUZZING THE HOLIDAY INN. THE PILOT BUZZED THE DEPUTIES PATROL CARS AND LANDED IN A DRAW BESIDE THE ROAD IN OZONA. THE TX DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY (DPS) WAS NOTIFIED AND AN ARREST WAS MADE FOR FLYING WHILE INTOXICATED AND UNLAWFULLY CARRYING A PISTOL WHILE INTOXICATED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
