UTICA, Minn. — Responding to a call from a worried citizen, a deputy sheriff found a man standing atop a trashcan and waving a sign skyward. This was about 7:10 p.m. near Sandstone Drive and Burt Road southeast of Utica in central Winona County. The man said the drones were coming and his sign was warning them to stay away. No law was being broken, and the deputy moved along. Indeed, deputies have seen occasional drones in the area off and on in recent weeks.
