Folks spotted it on social media and a flight tracking site and it wasn't any emergency just a surprise landing on a small grass patch by a hotel. Local influencer Adriana Davelos caught the whole thing on video while heading out from Johnny's Italian steakhouse. She posted it on Instagram and it racked up over 80,000 views overnight. She said the chopper flew low and loud, then set down as she hit the stop sign. Onlookers gathered, kids shouted about the cool helicopter and everyone seemed chill since no cars were nearby. Davelos described the four passengers as regular people and after they chatted with an Ola Thestation, she drove off figuring it was all good. Turns out the folks inside reached out to her, joking they just wanted dinner at Texas Roadhouse. They asked her to pull the video because the pilot was catching heat, but she kept it up, saying it was public and planned. Police confirmed no issues, forwarded details to the FAA and couldn't issue citations
