## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^WAS PILOTING A DJI SPARK DRONE (SMALL UAS, MAX GROSS WEIGHT OF 300 GRAMS) AROUND 8:15PM ON 02/08/2020 OVER AN ACTIVE CRIME SCENE APPROXIMATELY 1200 FEET FROM HIS DRIVEWAY.

THE AREA WAS SECURED WITH CRIME SCENE TAPE AND THERE WAS A GROWING GROUP OF ONLOOKERS AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ON SCENE.

IT WAS REPORTED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AT THE SCENE THAT THE DRONE WAS DIMLY ILLUMINATED AND WAS MAINTAINING A HEIGHT OF 30 TO 40 FEET ABOVE THE CROWD.

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.
