A Washington, D.C., man accused of shining a laser pointer at Marine One as President Donald Trump was departing the White House over the weekend has been charged with a felony.
Jacob Samuel Winkler, 33, was spotted by a uniformed Secret Service officer loudly talking to himself while standing on the sidewalk near the White House Saturday night. The officer waved a flashlight at Winkler, who then retaliated by flashing a red laser beam in the officer’s face.
