A 49-year-old Northampton man has denied endangering an aircraft after a police helicopter pilot reported being targeted by a laser pen.
Sergejs Puzanovskis was charged last month after the National Police Air Service pilot reported the incident while it was flying over Northampton as part of a missing person search.
Puzanovskis, of Chiltern Way, Northampton, pleeded not guilty at Northampton Magistrates’ Court last week and was remanded on bail ahead of a trial at the same court on February 8, 2022.
