Description
Deputies arrested a man who they say shined a green laser light at airplanes and law enforcement Thursday evening.
Nicholas Clayton, 35, who gave deputies an address in Clover, South Carolina, faces charges of pointing a laser at a driver/pilot and resisting arrest, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
A crew with the Manatee County Sheriff's Office Aviation Unit overheard air traffic control around 9:30 p.m. from nearby Sarasota Bradenton International Airport about incoming aircraft being hit with the laser, the sheriff's office said.
