Riverview, United States - June 14, 2025 A late-night laser strike on a Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office helicopter ended in arrest. Just after midnight on Saturday, June 14, 2025, the aircraft was conducting surveillance over Riverview. Suddenly, it was struck several times by a powerful green laser beam. The beam temporarily impaired the crew’s visibility and created a dangerous situation in the sky. Deputies traced the laser to a mobile home on the 10000 block of Johanna Avenue. There, they arrested 58-year-old James Cardamone. He was charged with Misuse of a Laser Lighting Device. The laser used in the attack was recovered at the scene. Officials say the reckless act could have led to tragedy.
