Man fined after drone flew over Chesterfield match
It caused play to be halted
A man has been fined more than £3,500 after flying a drone above a football match, which caused play to be halted.
Lewis Franks wept in court as he admitted flying the drone above Chesterfield FC's Technique Stadium on May 7, during the club's game against Bromley in the National League play-off semi-final.
Referee Scott Simpson took the players off the pitch for several minutes, in line with safety protocols, before the device was seen to land, Derbyshire Police previously said.
