The Los Angeles city attorney’s office charged a man Tuesday with obstructing a peace officer for allegedly flying a drone too close to a police helicopter.
Martin Sheldon, 57, was charged with two counts of obstructing a peace officer in performance of his duties and faces up to $1,000 in fines and a year in jail, officials said.
“Video footage from the device allegedly showed the drone fly towards the police helicopter, as well as its spotlight, and numerous police units below” on Aug. 27, the city attorney's office said in a statement.
A police helicopter was helping officers on the ground in East Hollywood look for a person around Western Avenue and Sunset Boulevard, where police had set up a perimeter, when the drone flew nearby, said LAPD Officer Nuria Vanegas.
The helicopter “had to make some movements to avoid” the drone, she said. Officers found Sheldon in a nearby parking lot and took him and his drone into custody.

"Its range is about one mile, with a ceiling surpassing 10,000 feet."
Must have been controlling from an airplane?!?

The ceiling is when you run out of air to fly in.
That means it won't fly above 10K.
That has nothing to do with range from the controller.

For whatever reason the ceiling is 10k how would controlled flight be possible at that altitude when the controller range is 5280ft......just wondering how they would get that data.:)

Easy,
take off from a 9000 ft peak
Altitude is measured at a standard temperature. The density altitude is temperature dependent. The hotter it is, the higher you are. 10k ft may be 6k ft on a hot day.
That's why a few years ago PDX closed down because it was about 120 which made the effective density altitude of Phoenix about 10k ft and airliners could not take off.

That Black Hornet Nano would sure come in handy for seeing if I'm cliffed out or not, steep skiing :-)
A bit beyond my price range, however, if it were for sale. $20 million to develop and deliver 160 units.
