Chinese national arrested after authorities said he was taking photos of Navy base
A Chinese man was arrested at a Navy base in Florida and charged with taking photos of the base’s facilities.
Witnesses said they saw 27-year-old Lyuyou Liao taking photos around the perimeter of the Naval Air Station in Key West, according to the Associated Press. Those witnesses warned Liao that he was entering a restricted part of the base called the Truman Annex.
Military police called federal agents, who searched the phone Liao was allegedly using to take the photographs. Liao told a Naval Criminal Investigative Service agent that he was just trying to take a picture of the sunrise, but officials said his phone contained images of the Truman Annex.
The Chinese national was charged with entering naval property with the purpose of photographing defense installations.
