A 13-year-old Florida boy is charged with a felony after allegedly pointing a laser at a sheriff's department helicopter. The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said the helicopter was in the sky around 12:30 a.m. Thursday in the area of 7th Street Northwest and 11th Avenue in Largo, when a green laser lighting device was pointed at the aircraft. Deputies in the helicopter maintained a visual of the suspect and directed deputies on the ground to the suspect's location.
Body camera video then shows deputies on the ground locating the young teen, who reportedly admitted to illuminating the helicopter with a laser lighting device. Deputies found a flare gun with a mounted green laser in his jacket. Deputies said the teenager told them he intentionally aimed the laser at the helicopter because he was bored. When he was in the back of a squad car, the boy was heard telling deputies, 'I didn't know it was a police helicopter.
