AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) - Augusta-area law enforcement is reporting few problems during the Masters.

The Augusta Chronicle (https://bit.ly/1HkAb3R) reports that three men attempted to hop an Augusta National fence on Sunday and were issued disorderly conduct citations.

Richmond County sheriff’s Sgt. Michael McDaniel says a 53-year-old man, his 20-year-old son and an 18-year-old man unsuccessfully tried to climb the fence. He says the older man told his son to run when deputies showed up, but the men were caught after a brief foot chase.

Authorities say there were no arrests or citations related to a new ban on drones instituted for the tournament. The county-wide ban on the remote-controlled aircraft ended Monday.
