[00:00:00]Uh, let's go to Columbus together now where we're showing you some new video from police that shows a laser being pointed directly at a police helicopter.

[00:00:08]This happened late Friday night.

[00:00:11]Officers say thermal video is what helped them track the light to a backyard bonfire where they arrested a 31-year-old man. He is charged with a second-degree felony. He's still in jail tonight. Shining a laser at an aircraft, by the way, carries stiff penalties if you're caught, including an up to fines totaling tens of thousands of dollars as well as prison time.
