US investigating whether Chinese citizen charged with flying drone over base committed 'more serious offenses'
Fox News senior correspondent Claudia Cowan shares the latest on the situation at Vandenberg Space Force Base on'America Reports.' The U.S. government is investigating whether the Chinese citizen arrested after allegedly flying a drone over Vandenberg Space Force Base in California perpetrated other offenses. Last week, the U.S. attorney's office for the central district of California announced that 39-year-old Yinpiao Zhou, a lawful permanent resident of the U.S., was "charged with failure to register an aircraft not providing transportation and violation of national defense airspace." But court filings indicate that "the government is continuing to investigate whether ZHOU engaged in additional, more serious offenses."
