23 year old Timothy M. Ebert, of Pottsville, is headed to state prison after admitting Wednesday in Schuylkill County Court that he pointed a laser at a helicopter in Pottsville.
According to the Republican Herald, Pottsville police charged Ebert with pointing the green laser at a Lehigh Valley Health Network MedEvac 7 helicopter about 9:15 p.m. Aug. 15, 2017, as it approached the helipad on Lawton’s Hill on the city’s east side.
President Judge William E. Baldwin ruled Ebert must now serve 1 1/2 to three years in a state correctional institution.
