A man convicted of pointing a high-powered laser at a police helicopter has been sentenced to 14 years in prison.
It is believed to be one of the longest sentences for such a crime.
Sergio Rodriguez, 26, of Clovis, California, was accused of pointing a green laser 13 times more powerful than typical devices at a Fresno Police Department helicopter in 2012.
The helicopter had been called to an apartment building where an emergency helicopter for a children's hospital had also reported being targeted by a laser.
