A 22-year-old Dallas man was in custody after police say he shined a
laser beam at a police helicopter several times as the officers
searched for a burglary suspect.
Police identified the suspect as
Kenneth Santodomingo, who now faces a charge of illumination aircraft
with laser pointer/impairing operator.
The incident occurred about 4 a.m. Monday in the 8000 block of Umphress Road in Dallas.
Dallas police had arrived at the scene in response to a burglary of a motor vehicle.
Officers asked for assistance from the Dallas police helicopter, Air One.
As Air One worked the area, someone beamed the helicopter with a green laser and did it multiple times, police said.
The pilots tracked down the man with the laser pointer and directed officers on the ground to the suspect.
Police notified the FAA of the aircraft laser strike.
