Jacob Samuel Winkler, a 33-year-old man, was arrested after he aimed a red laser beam at Marine One, President Donald Trump's helicopter, as it was leaving the White House. The incident occurred near the presidential residence and endangered flight safety, causing risks of temporary blindness for the pilot. Winkler was observed by a Secret Service officer, being loud and without a shirt. Aiming a laser at aircraft is a federal offense, punishable by up to five years in prison.
