Laser Disorients Sheriff’s Chopper Crew (CA)
Stanislaus County Sheriff Chopper Pilot Blinded by Laser
Last Saturday should have been a routine night patroling the skies over Stanislaus County.
But Officer Jeff Sprueill and his pilot were temporarily stunned by a bright light coming from the ground.
“It was a very bright green laser beam, it almost blinded us for a moment,” said Sprueill.
The pilot took evasive action, turning the aircraft away from the light and dropping altitude to avoid an emergency landing.
Crews on the ground could not locate the source of the bright light.(snip)
