A 56-year-old Wichita man had his toy laser taken from him after shining it at a law enforcement plane flying above the scene of a drive-by shooting, police said. The laser incident, which appeared on a police report released Tuesday morning, happened at 2:08 a.m. Saturday in the 600 block of South Terrace, which is near Kellogg and Oliver. The laser was pointed at a Kansas Highway Patrol plane helping police after the drive-by shooting. Police interviewed and released the man, but took his laser as evidence. It’s a federal crime to point a laser at an aircraft, with the possibility of a hefty fine and up to five years in prison.
