BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The U.S. Attorney's Office says a Cheektowaga man has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after pointing a laser at a Delta Airlines flight.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, on March 2, 2024, 29-year-old Joseph Crapsi aimed a green laser pointer at a Delta Airlines flight that was approaching the Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
Federal authorities said a Delta pilot reported the green laser, which lasted between 60 and 90 seconds, to Buffalo Air Traffic Control.
Crapsi was arrested after neighbors in Cheektowaga reported a green laser shining through their homes.
