A California sheriff's office used a drone with a magnet to disarm a wanted man by removing a knife from his hand.
The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office deployed the drone and a robotic K9 unit to arrest Austin Carter, who had a criminal history and was barricaded in his home.
After disarming Carter and clearing obstacles with the robotic K9, officers subdued him, and he received medical attention before being jailed without bail on multiple felony charges.
