LEE COUNTY, Fla. -- A wanted man's plan to hide from deputies was foiled by technology last week.

Lee County deputies say Aaron Lytle had been on the run for nearly a month. They received information that Lytle was hiding inside a business.

But deputies were unable to find him, until they activated their drone and found him hiding in the attic under insulation.

Lytle was arrested Friday and charged with Failure to Appear for Felony Offense.
