Walsall man who shone laser pen at police helicopter making pilot feel unsafe avoids jail
A Walsall man who continually shone a laser pen at a police helicopter which was carrying out a search operation has been given a suspended jail sentence.
Wajid Beg was confronted by police outside his own house in Birchills at about 9pm on January 16 this year, targeting a helicopter hovering overhead "for no reason".
Wolverhampton Crown Court heard the pilot of the helicopter was distracted by the light being shone for at least ten seconds on six different occasions.
