Audrain County Sheriff’s Department Gets Call From Air Traffic Control About Laser Lighting Up Cock Pit Of Airplane

The Audrain County Sheriff’s Department says they received a call from the Air Traffic Control Center in Springfield last night about a laser lighting up the cock pit of an airplane near the Audrain, Pike, Montgomery County line.

Audrain County Sheriff Matt Oller says to make no mistake, a laser can be easily seen by an aircraft.

Moreover if you are caught pointing a laser at an aircraft, you will likely have visitors ranging from you local Sheriff’s Office to people with just a few letters on their jackets, all trying to determine where on the lists you are of threats to public safety.

Oller asks that people have some common sense and respect.

The call from the Air Traffic Control Center in Springfield came in just before 10pm last (Sunday) night.
