Brookhaven police use a drone to find a wanted suspect who fled into the ceiling of a local wing restaurant on Wednesday, December 4.

The city police department says they responded to a Wing Stop after learning that a man in the restaurant had threatened employees.

Upon arriving, officers discovered the man was wanted on an outstanding assault charge.

He tried to flee into the ceiling, but police flew a drone into the small space and spotted him.

They were able to force him down by poking at the ceiling panels.
