When we first read the title we could’ve sworn this had Florida man written all over it but a Pennsylvania man has been arrested after repeatedly bombing his exs house since march with a drone.
According to FoxNews a man arrested in June for allegedly dropping explosive devices in an eastern Pennsylvania community via a drone was targeting his ex-girlfriend’s home, according to prosecutors.
Jason Muzzicato, 44, was taken into custody in Washington Township in Northampton County by the FBI and local authorities after he was linked to the explosions. Evidence at his home and his business, Bangor Motor Works, tied him to several explosions in the township since March.
While his motive was initially unclear, prosecutors now say Muzzicato allegedly used a drone to drop explosive devices onto his ex-girlfriend’s property, WFMZ reported. He hasn’t been charged with detonating any explosives, but currently faces charges of knowingly operating an aircraft, the drone, without registration.
Neighbor Charles Carcione, whose surveillance cameras caught at least one of the explosions, told the news outlet he thinks the explosive devices were filled with other dangerous materials.
“One day, I was in the driveway doing something. All of a sudden, I heard them. It rained nails,” he said. “They came out of the sky. They dropped down from the sky. Nobody was around. Nobody went by and threw them. They dropped from the sky.”
The neighbor suspected it was Muzzicato. He claims he confronted him and asked him to stop, but the explosions got worse…
“It does not take much imagination to conjure up the enormous harm that can result from the combination of illegal firearms, explosives, and drone aircrafts,” said U.S. Attorney McSwain in a DOJ press release. “Adding methamphetamine and a disregard of court orders to the mix only serves to heighten the risk. Here the defendant’s alleged behavior violated the law and threatened public safety.”
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Muzzicato could face 33 years in prison and a. $760,000 fine if convicted.
