A Canadian citizen has been deported from the United States after receiving probation for illegally photographing a U.S. defence facility with a drone.

A Florida judge has put Brampton, Ont., resident Xiao Guang Pan on probation for 12 months and has ordered him deported back to Canada, according to Global News. Pan was charged earlier this year by the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida with three counts of using a drone to photograph defence installations and equipment at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Base (CCSFS) in Florida.
