A reckless father who endangered the life of a pilot when he shone a laser pen at a police helicopter to 'test what his new toy could do' has been jailed for four months.
Alexandru Gheorghe, 28, from Redditch, Worcestershire, dazzled the occupants of a police air service helicopter with a £7 laser pen he had bought off eBay as it was flying over Stratford on its way back to its base.
The pilot had to take evasive action to manoeuvre away from the beam after the cockpit was bathed in bright green light at 10.30pm on May 16, a court heard.
