BLUFFDALE, Utah (ABC 4 News) - A Bluffdale man is facing federal charges after allegedly shining a laser beam at a National Guard helicopter.
It happened last week when the Apache helicopter was returning from a training mission.
According to pilots, the laser lit up the window on the aircraft not once, but twice.
The men knew it was a laser, and circled back to pinpoint the location.
That’s when police moved in and made the arrest.
The man now faces up to five years in prison.
