The suspect was arrested and could be facing serious consequences considering pointing a laser at an aircraft as a federal offense, punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Unfortunately, this seems to be a growing trend as the Federal Aviation Administration reports a steep increase in reported laser strikes in recent years. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has also been investigating an increase in laser incidents at Washington airports. And this spring, the agency offered a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to arrests.
