An individual has been arrested for pointing a laser at US President Donald Trump's helicopter during its approach to the White House. A uniformed Secret Service member saw him in the act on a public street, according to the New York Times. Jacob Samuel Winkler, 33, is the perpetrator currently facing felony charges for his dangerous and malicious action.
“Marine One,” as is the call sign of helicopters when they carry the President of the United States, was flying low when the incident happened. Landing in a populated area, especially as dense as the city of Washington DC is a delicate task for any pilot, and the result could be catastrophic if a crash were to happen.
