Description: McAllen, Texas pointing a laser at an aircraft criminal defense lawyer represented defendant, Luz Fernando Solis, with knowingly aiming a beam of a laser at a Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter.

The aircraft was providing assistance to local law enforcement when a laser beam struck the DPS helicopter twice. Authorities observed an individual, later identified as Solis, at the location where the laser beams originated.

They conducted a search of his residence and found the laser pointer.

Lasers have a dangerous effect on pilots when the beams of light strike an aircraft. The light can temporarily blind them. A laser, when aimed at an aircraft, can create a visual distraction or cause discomfort or even damage to a pilot’s eyes.

At that time, Solis faces up to five years in federal prison and a possible $250,000 maximum fine.

The FBI and DPS conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Frances Blake Land is prosecuting the case.

Outcome: Defendant pleaded guilty.
