> Oregon man charged with shining green laser at CBP helicopter in Portland as anti-ICE protests rage on.
> An Oregon man has been charged with shining a green laser at a US Customs and Border Protection helicopter in Portland amid rowdy anti-ICE protests in the city, federal prosecutors announced Thursday.
> Brian Keith Kapileo Nepaial, 38, allegedly pointed the device at a federal chopper on Oct. 3, forcing the pilots to land the aircraft early, the Oregon US District Attorney’s Office said in a press release.
> When the FBI searched Nepaial’s home a week later, they found a laser, along with more than 100 grams of methamphetamine and “evidence of drug trafficking,” according to the DA’s office.
> Nepaial allegedly pointed the laser at the CBP helicopter as it was passing over his home while he was smoking on the porch, according to federal court documents.
> The pilots circled back over the house, and watched Nepaial creep back into his home.
> “Laser strikes are a serious matter with potentially deadly repercussions. They put the lives of the
pilots and the public at risk,” said Scott E. Bradford, US Attorney for the District of Oregon.
