A Clovis man was sentenced to five years in prison
last week for shining a powerful green laser at a law enforcement
aircraft.
Sergio Patrick Rodriguez, 27, was given the maximum possible
prison sentence the judge could impose.
Rodriguez was suspected of
multiple acts of shining lasers at aircraft. In a previous laser strike, he
targeted a medical emergency transport helicopter for Valley Children's
Hospital.
Rodriguez also had a significant criminal history and was
guilty of numerous probation violations, according to the U.S. Department of
Justice.
Hanford resident Michael Quair was arrested last week for
allegedly shining a laser at a Kings County Sheriff's Office airplane flying
over Hanford.
Quair hasn't been formally charged yet.
