Former president of Skydance Interactive Peter Akemann pleaded guilty today to recklessly operating a drone that crashed into and damaged a Super Scooper firefighting aircraft battling the Palisades Fire last month.

As part of his plea agreement, Peter Tripp Akemann agreed to pay full restitution of just over $65,000 to the government of Quebec, which supplied the plane, and an aircraft repair company that handled the necessary fixes.

The defendant has agreed to pay more than $65,000 in restitution and faces up to a year in federal prison, prosecutors said.

Peter Tripp Akemann, 56, agreed to plead guilty to one count of unsafe operation of an unmanned aircraft, federal prosecutors in Los Angeles said.

Prosecutors said a Culver City man agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge stemming from the incident that briefly grounded the plane.

A former Hollywood video game exec won't serve a day in prison for his drone damaging and grounding an aircraft that was fighting the LA wildfires.
