It's 2:00 a.m. over Marion Oaks, Florida. The crew of Air One is conducting a routine patrol when the cockpit is suddenly flooded with a blinding green light. This isn't just a prank. It's a federal crime that risks a catastrophic crash. The address for this going to be on the corner of 58th and what looks like 154th Lane Road. The pilot is forced to fly blind, relying entirely on instruments. But while the suspect thinks he's hidden in the dark, the helicopter's thermal camera is already locked on. Down in a driveway on SW 151st Place, we see him. Adam Santiago Lugo, binoculars around his neck, green laser in his hand, looking directly at the eye in the sky he just blinded. And there's multiple green light strikes on the aircraft. Proceed for 10-15. 10-4. It's 10:00 a.m. 26 on that UF. Description of the subject. 10-4.
