“They are actively ‘lasing’ us right now,” the pilot said.
The suspect, whose name has not been released, went inside the house when police arrived, but officers were able to talk to residents and arrest the suspect.
Intentionally aiming lasers at aircraft poses a safety threat to pilots, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The lights can disorient the pilot on takeoff or landing and can cause a pilot to be temporary blinded.
In Ohio, pointing a laser at an aircraft is a second-degree felony.
