Officials probe use of state helicopter at game
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – State officials are investigating the use of a Department of Justice helicopter at a high school homecoming football game in Northern California.
KCRA-TV reported Thursday that top officials at the DOJ did not know the helicopter – usually flown for drug busts – was being used to hover over the game in El Dorado Hills.
The incident was caught on video and uploaded to YouTube. It showed a DOJ agent dropping a football from the helicopter to his son, a player, on the field.
