One person has been arrested after an ultralight aircraft was shot by a hunter while it was flying near Byers, the Adams County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.

One of the hunters, Frank Urban, was arrested for second-degree assault.

The pilot, whom the sheriff’s office identified as James Johnson, suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene and released.

Johnson was flying over his cornfield checking on his irrigation system in an area near East 64th Avenue and Calhoun Byers Road on Tuesday when the incident occurred, the sheriff’s office said.

Hunters were shooting legally on private land in the immediate area.

As Johnson was flying over the field where two men were hunting, he was shot.
