@manchesternews: This dramatic footage taken from a police helicopter captured the moment a 'daft' man dazzled the pilot with a laser pen. The clip showed the bright green light being dazzled directly towards the aircraft as it searched for a missing person above the Latchford and Stockton Heath areas in Cheshire. Officers were able to trace the light to the window of a property - where they found David Warren. In court, he was told his actions 'could have put many lives in danger'. Police said shining the laser towards the helicopter was 'incredibly dangerous'. When quizzed, Warren said he had originally used the laser to play with his dog and said he had been 'daft and immature'. But inquiries revealed just eight days before last month's incident, he was given a suspended prison sentence after he got drunk and threatened a man with a hammer, Warrington Magistrates' Court heard. #manchestereveningnews #cheshire #warrington #policefootage
