Two Massachusetts men who flew a drone “dangerously close” to Logan International Airport in Boston are facing charges, police say. 

Robert Duffy, 42, of Boston’s Charlestown neighborhood and Jeremy Folcik, 32, of Bridgewater were taken into custody late Saturday night on Long Island, which is located on the approach to the airport, according to the Boston Police Department. 

“The incident began earlier that evening, at 4:30 PM, when a Boston Police Officer specializing in real-time crime surveillance detected an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) operating dangerously close to Logan International Airport,” police said in a statement. “Leveraging advanced UAS monitoring technology, the Officer identified the drone’s location, altitude, flight history, and the operators’ position on Long Island.” 

“Members of the Boston Police Harbor Patrol Unit were dispatched to Long Island and located three individuals inside the decommissioned Long Island Health Campus. Upon attempting to make contact, the suspects fled on foot,” police added. “Two of the three individuals were apprehended and identified as Duffy and Folcik. During the investigation, a drone was discovered inside a backpack carried by Duffy.”

Investigators believe the third individual fled the island – which is part of the Boston Harbor Islands – on a “small vessel.”  

Duffy and Folcik are now facing charges of trespassing, although the Boston Police Department noted that more charges and fines could follow.

Police also said that because of the “serious risks posed by the drone’s proximity to Logan’s airspace,” the Department of Homeland Security, Massachusetts State Police, the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Federal Communications Commission and Logan Airport Air Traffic Control were contacted to help with the response.

“The Boston Police Department reminds recreational drone operators of the importance of adhering to Federal Aviation Administration safety guidelines. Operators are prohibited from flying drones over people or vehicles and must be aware of airspace restrictions,” Boston Police added. “Even small drones pose significant risks, including the potential for catastrophic damage to airplanes and helicopters. Near-collisions can cause pilots to veer off course, putting lives and property at risk.” 

PHILADELPHIA — The Pittsburgh Steelers fell to the Philadelphia Eagles in tough fashion Sunday. While they did clinch a playoff berth with losses from the Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts, between injuries and some key parts that fell flat in their play, they have questions to answer.

So, here are the winners and losers from Sunday’s game:

Winner: Pat Freiermuth

Pat Freiermuth is the first tight end since Heath Miller to score three touchdowns in three straight games. What a dazzling last few weeks he has put together, and all of the praise should go to him because Freiermuth has found his groove. The Steelers have started working with him more on the vertical plane, and it has unlocked another level to Freiermuth’s game.

Is he perfect? No. But it is becoming clear that Freiermuth is an excellent seam buster who can take all the different routes on the vertical plane, including on his touchdown. Add in a leap in his blocking, and Freiermuth is on an upward trend despite most players going downward.

Loser: Najee Harris

Tough day at the office for Najee Harris, who had the huge fumble on the toss play that hit him right in the hands. Harris had to catch that ball, and even on his six runs, he did not maximize the runs often. The run game struggles are often schematic, but Harris had as poor of a game as he has had since he entered the NFL.

Right now, Jaylen Warren looks more dynamic and is in the groove. He is fully healthy and ready to go, so the Steelers should give him even more of a workload.

Winner: T.J. Watt

The ankle injury aside, Watt gave Lane Johnson all kinds of trouble, which speaks to the type of player Watt is and has become. You want to know why no one leaves Watt on an island? Just look at what he did to Johnson in this game.

Johnson often looks great and has no worries each week, but Watt won consistently in this one, getting a forced fumble and two sacks. Watt got the better of Johnson far more than Johnson would have liked, and it led to one of the worst games of Johnson’s career, but all of that is drawn to Watt and his play.

Loser: Missed tackles

This can encompass a lot of different players. Patrick Queen missed more than a few tackles. Donte Jackson whiffed on Kenneth Gainwell on a third down that should have been a stop. Joey Porter Jr. had one of the worst tackling games of his career and turned the clock back to last year after it felt like he had taken the step forward needed in that area. The Steelers’ tackling was a huge part of giving the Eagles first downs by breaking tackles in the open field and that needs to be nipped in the bud now.
