A drone was used to locate someone wanted by the police. It located that person, and law enforcement officials arrested the person. There was no "strike."

The article was posted here on DU. I remember it.

In fact, here is the thread:

Please have a look at it.

If you have some other incident in mind, please provide a link, so we can all go look at it.
