A west suburban man was accused of flashing a laser pointer at airplanes leaving O’Hare and Midway airports, according to Illinois state police.
Saul Martinez Castanon, 36, of Berkeley, was charged with two counts of disorderly conduct, according to state police.
Troopers used the aircraft’s camera and identified a residential yard in the 1200 block of Sunnyside Drive in Berkeley as the likely location of the laser, state police said. The Federal Aviation Administration reported several aircraft departing from O’Hare and Midway, including commercial aircraft carrying hundreds of passengers, having the same issue with a laser from a similar location on the ground, officials said.
