The charge stems from a Sept. 27 incident where police said someone on the East Side was pointing a laser at an orbiting OSHP helicopter that was working in conjunction with joint OSHP-Youngstown police anti-violence patrols.
Reports said the crew notified city police and troopers working the patrols at about 9:35 p.m. that someone in the area of Bennington Avenue and McGuffey Road was pointing a laser at the helicopter.
