On Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024, at about 10:22 p.m., officers from the Boston Police Harbor Patrol Unit arrested 42-year-old Robert Duffy of Charlestown and 32-year-old Jeremy Folcik of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, on Long Island, part of the Boston Harbor Islands. The arrests followed a hazardous drone operation near Logan Airport’s airspace. Both face trespassing charges, with additional fines or charges possible.

If we decide we need to, we're going to do the same thing to the math underneath AI."

The incident began earlier that day when a Boston Police officer detected a drone operating dangerously close to Logan Airport. The department coordinated with multiple agencies to track the drone, leading officers to the suspects, who fled on foot when approached. A drone was found in Duffy’s backpack.

Duffy and Folcik were transported to District A-1 for booking. A search for a third suspect, believed to have fled by boat, is ongoing. The suspects are scheduled for arraignment in Dorchester District Court.
