A Connecticut teenager who drew national attention this week for a viral Internet video showing a drone he had modified to fire a handgun was charged on Thursday with assaulting police officers in an unrelated incident. Austin Haughwout, 18, was charged with refusing to obey police orders on Wednesday when he was summoned to the Clinton police station in connection with an incident that occurred Sunday night, when he drove away from officers trying to question him in a library parking lot, according to police and court officials. When police attempted to arrest Haughwout on charges of interfering with an officer and failure to obey an officer’s signal, he became violent and attempted to flee the police station, the Clinton Police Department said in a statement.
