Baltimore, MD - Jan. 12, 2025 - A 50-year-old man was arrested in connection to multiple laser strikes on a Baltimore County Police Department helicopter, according to authorities.
Police said on Dec. 19, around 9:45 p.m., members of the Baltimore County Police Department’s Aviation Unit encountered multiple laser strikes while flying along Eastern Avenue toward Martin State Airport.
Officers said they found where the strikes were coming from and alerted patrol officers.
When patrol officers arrived in the 800 block of Rosedale Avenue, they found 50-year-old Anthony R. Wolff, who officials said was subsequently charged with recklessly engaging in conduct that created a substantial risk of death or serious physical injury to the officers.
Police said just two days prior to this incident, the Federal Aviation Administration reported a substantial uptick in laser strikes.
