MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The drone reportedly also injured a security guard at the park, after he spotted and tried to intercept the vehicle in April 2014.
The 52-year-old defendant, who is an aerial photographer, refuted the charges, saying he was merely examining the device to decide whether to purchase the drone for professional purposes, Le Parisien reported.
The final ruling is expected to be handed down on May 29.
Small civilian unmanned aerial vehicles are banned in French urban areas and near nuclear facilities, which are considered no-fly zones due to security concerns.
