US Secret Service agents stopped a man from flying a small drone near President Barack Obama’s motorcade while he was on vacation with his family in Hawaii.
According to the Secret Service, the man was unaware that the President’s motorcade would be traveling through the area and no charges were filed.
Obama was on his way to play a round of golf.
The 6-foot-1 Obama is known to enjoy a daily workout whether he’s at home in the White House, travelling or on vacation.

He plays golf practically every weekend in Washington when the weather co-operates, and he swings his clubs just about daily during extended vacations on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, or in his native Hawaii.
During his vacation, Obama opened Christmas gifts and sang carols with his family at their vacation rental in nearby Kailua, about a half hour from downtown Honolulu.
Obama is on a 16-day vacation. He is scheduled to return to the White House just after the start of the new year.
