Police arrest a man accused of throwing items off a roof onto cars on the south side, using a drone to assist.
SAN ANTONIO — Police arrested a man they say was throwing things off a roof onto cars below at a building on the south side Friday.
It all started when officers got a call for someone on the roof of a building throwing items at cars and possibly damaging cars. This was at the intersection of Devine Road and South Presa Street around 11:54 a.m.
Officers arrived and were able to use the police drone, Ravin, to get a look at the man on the roof. Police say they could see he had a pocket knife in his hand and a blowtorch. Officers were able to talk him off the roof and took him into custody. It is not confirmed whether there was any damage to cars from throwing the items.
Police say he is going to be evaluated. They say he may face criminal charges, but he is not charged with anything at this point.
