Man arrested in St. Pete Beach after shining laser at helicopter: deputies
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WFLA) — A man was arrested on Thursday after he was accused of shining a laser at a sheriff's office helicopter. According to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, around 10:47 p.m., the helicopter was flying in the area of 6850 Beach Plaza to assist deputies. Flight deputies said that they noticed a green laser being pointed directly at the helicopter multiple times. Flight deputies said they were able to spot the suspect, who was located on the balcony of a condo at Bahia Del Mar Circle. The suspect was identified as Dann Wagner, 61, who confessed to shining the laser lighting device at the helicopter, according to deputies. Per Florida State Statute, knowingly and willfully shining or focusing the beam of a laser lighting device on an aircraft or vehicle is a third-degree felony. Pinellas County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested Wagner and transported him to the Pinellas County Jail. He was charged with misusing a laser lighting device. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
