CLINTON, CT — Austin Haughwout, who made headlines for creating a gun-shooting drone in 2015, turned himself in to police early Thursday morning on an outstanding arrest warrant on charges of enticing a minor, attempted fourth-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a minor, according to police.

Haughwout, 19, went to Clinton Police Department headquarters at 5:45 a.m. to turn himself in on the warrant that was issued by Middletown Superior Court, police said in a press release.

The warrant was issued after a lengthy investigation by the Clinton Police Department and other law enforcement agencies, according to police.

He was held on a $25,000 court-set cash-only bond, which he did not post, for the latest arrest, according to police. Haughwout was scheduled to be arraigned later on Thursday.
