Pilot charged with illegally landing chopper in public street
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A pilot faced reckless flying and other charges for landing a helicopter on a public street to pick up Tommy Lee and take him to a concert, prosecutors said.
David Keith Martz, 49, allegedly landed the helicopter July 7 outside a home in the Hollywood Hills.
He was summoned to give the 43-year-old rocker a 50-mile flight to a Nine Inch Nails concert in Irvine, said Frank Mateljan, a spokesman for the City Attorney's Office.
