LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Louisville police say they have arrested a man accused of shining a laser pointer at a police helicopter.
Police say the incident occurred early Sunday and the arrest was made a short time later.
Authorities plan to provide more details at a press conference Wednesday morning. An FBI official is expected to be among the officials offering details.
The Federal Aviation Administration has said that the intense light from hand-held lasers can distract and temporarily blind pilots.
