Man arrested on suspicion of aiming laser at helicopter

The pilot of the sheriff's helicopter was flying above Rancho Santa Margarita at 10:37 p.m. when he became distracted by a laser beam that was hitting the helicopter, Lt. Ted Boyne of the Orange County Sheriff's Department said.
The helicopter remained in the area and was targeted by the same beam of light three times before the pilot was able to track the origin of the beam to an apartment complex on Via Amistosa, Boyne said.
"They have the ability to track them down to the bedroom," Boyne said.
A deputy led to the apartment building by the helicopter found Mitchell Cruz Re. The deputy talked to Re, and he admitted to pointing a laser at the helicopter, Boyne said.
Deputies searched Re, and reported finding a small quantity of methamphetamine, he said.
