Alhambra Police Department arrested Monday two Alhambra residents for the obstruction of an aircraft as well as various drug and fraud charges, according to a press release from the department.
Officers, assisted by a Pasadena police helicopter, were investigating a non-related burglar alarm on Main Street at 10:11 p.m. when one of the suspects pointed a laser pointer at the helicopter, violating a state law that says no one can point a laser at an occupied aircraft. The helicopter pilot directed police to the 600 block of South Electric Avenue, where officers arrested Joel Reyna, 30, and Aram Yashu, 32. Police discovered a laser pointer, drug paraphernalia, and evidence of credit card fraud at the location.
Reyna and Yashu are being held at the Alhambra Police Department with a $25,000 bail.
