SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO – A 41-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of pointing a laser at an Orange County Sheriff’s Department helicopter patrolling over San Juan Capistrano Wednesday night, Jan. 10.
Video shot from the helicopter dubbed Duke 1 captured a man standing outside his car deploying the laser multiple times while the helicopter flew overhead around 7:30 p.m., the Sheriff’s Department said in a statement Thursday.
Pilots kept tabs on the man, guiding deputies on the ground to his location as he drove toward the 5 freeway, the statement says.
The suspect identified as Farhad Naghipour, of Irvine, was arrested without incident on suspicion of felony discharging a laser at an aircraft.
Lasers pose a danger to helicopter pilots, according to the Sheriff’s Department.
“If the laser shot hits the glass of an aircraft in just the right way, the light refracts, illuminating the inside of the aircraft and potentially disorienting the pilots,” the statement says “The beam can cause retina damage, headaches and flash-blindness.”
Several people have been convicted in Orange County of pointing a laser at an aircraft, which is a federal offense.
Also, in March 2015, a man was sentenced to 14 years in prison after pointing a laser at a Fresno police helicopter.

The lineup, which mixed graphic men’s tailoring with her signature diaphanous evening gowns, was inspired by Surrealist artist Claude Cahun, best known for her photographic self-portraits in which she adopted a variety of guises.
Chiuri decided to explore this period after seeing the Dior retrospective at Les Arts Décoratifs, which wrapped last week after a record-breaking run. It included a room devoted to the couturier’s early career as a gallerist, and his friendships with Surrealists including Jean Cocteau and André Breton.
With her gender-ambiguous pseudonym and fondness for role-playing, Cahun makes an ideal muse for a generation craving new ways of defining themselves.
“At that time, in Paris, the modern woman was born,” said Chiuri, pointing at a mood board filled with images of the shaven-headed artist. “In a way, it’s very close to the idea that
