Christopher Laney, 34, of Lancaster, California, was charged o with using an unregistered drone to deliver narcotics to customers on multiple occasions, The Smoking Gun reported.

The Drug Enforcement Administration alleges that Laney used the drone to deliver fentanyl from his home to a church parking lot last year; his client, a woman, died the next day of an overdose.

Videos recorded by the drone itself, along with other drugs and three ghost guns, were seized during a raid of Laney's home and used as evidence against him.
