Sammy Ladymon lives in Garland. He likes to look at stars, by gum. And helicopters and planes keep seeming to fly low above his house to harass him and interrupt his amateur astronomy. So why wouldn’t he point an intense green light at them? I mean, hey, he says, it’s not like he’s firing bullets.

He said he is housed in a cell with eight inmates who were surprised to learn the charge against him.
“They call me ‘the laser pointer guy,'” he said.
