A MAN who disoriented a police helicopter pilot with a laser beam has been jailed for six months by a Sydney magistrate.
In Campbelltown Local Court on Wednesday, Magistrate Robert Rabbidge sentenced Matthew William Moore to six months' imprisonment over the incident at Leumeah in Sydney's southwest in May last year.
Moore, 39, pleaded guilty last year to threatening the safety of an aircraft after he pointed a laser at the Polair 3 aircraft as it hovered at an altitude of 450 metres.
He was arrested on his front lawn after the incident, which police said caused the pilot to feel disoriented.
The court has previously heard Moore wrote a letter apologising to the officers involved in the incident and is genuinely sorry for his actions.
His term of imprisonment will end on August 5.
