An Orlando man flouted national airspace restrictions by flying a drone over events held to celebrate Super Bowl LV in downtown Tampa Wednesday, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Henry Jimenez, 33, was charged in the Middle District of Florida with violating national defense airspace, the office said in a release. If convicted, Jimenez could face up to one year in federal prison.
On Feb. 3, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a temporary flight restriction over downtown Tampa to secure the area ahead of Super Bowl LV, according to the release.
