Pilot gets probation for toilet paper drop
Hackensack, N.Y. -- A New Jersey man who dropped three rolls of toilet paper from a plane while flying over a school was sentenced to probation under a deal with prosecutors.
The deal between the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office and Warren Saunders, which was entered into court Monday, requires Saunders to write a letter of apology to the mayor and council of Hackensack for the Oct. 13 incident as well as being placed on probation for an unspecified amount of time, The Record, Bergen County, N.J., reported Tuesday.
Saunders, 60, pleaded guilty to a single charge of dropping objects from an aircraft in a thickly inhabited area. The pilot said his intention was to cover the football field in "streamers" in preparation for an upcoming game. He said he did not know there were children on the field at the time.
