Man Gets One Year in Jail For Grabbing Helicopter

Houshang Jafari, 58, has received a one-year jail sentence for a novel crime: grabbing a skid bar on a helicopter about to take off.

Jafari was mad when the helicopter landed near his flat in Bristol – resulting in debris hitting his car. He went to confront the pilot and when he began to take off, he grabbed the skid bar. There were four passengers on board and the court found that he had endangered the aircraft.

Sentencing Jafari, Judge Michael Roach sent him away for a year, which seems a bit high given the fact that bouncing naked on a neighbor’s trampoline while masturbating gets you only probation in England.
