A freelance photographer taking photos of a Kansas feedlot for National Geographic faces a charge of criminal trespassing.
The photographer, George Steinmetz, was taking aerial photos of the feedlot near Garden City for a series about food scheduled to publish in 2014 when a feedlot employee noticed the paraglider and alerted authorities.
The Associated Press reports Steinmetz and his paraglider instructor failed to obtain permission to launch a paraglider from private property and didn’t notify the feedlot of their plans. The two were arrested and kept in Finney County Jail for a short time before paying a $270 bond.
