Today just before 1:00 am, our PBSO helicopter was conducting patrol in the City of Lake Worth due to the power outage when an individual pointed a green laser light into the cockpit, blinding the pilot. The individual, Jacqueline Robledo, was located and arrested for Misuse of Laser Lighting Device. The pilot received immediate medical attention. At this time, no immediate injuries were sustained. The FAA, NTSB and the FBI were notified.
