Teen Arrested For Pointing Toy Laser At Plane, Helicopter
December 27, 2007, 10:16 AM PST
A teenager testing one of his Christmas presents has been arrested for aiming a laser pointer at a jetliner, a commuter bus and a Newport Beach police helicopter.
The pilots of a Skywest Airlines plane and the police helicopter reported the laser attack Tuesday night.
Police Sgt. Evan Sailor says officers aboard the helicopter traced the laser beam to a Newport Beach home where the 15-year-old Las Vegas boy was staying with relatives. The boy was given the laser as a Christmas present.
It was the third laser-related arrest in Orange County this week. Two men were arrested earlier for aiming laser devices at an Orange County sheriff's helicopter.
