A man who allegedly fired a weapon at a rescue helicopter in the day
following Hurricane Katrina's hit on New Orleans has been indicted by a
federal grand jury.


Wendell Bailey, 20, of New Orleans, was charged with firearms possession
by
a felon and firing upon a military aircraft, prosecutors said. The grand
jury accused Bailey of shooting through the window of his apartment as a
helicopter flew over his neighborhood.


Authorities said they found two revolvers and a box of ammunition under a
mattress in his apartment. The charges carry up to 30 years in prison and
$500,000 in fines.


Bailey had been previously convicted of cocaine distribution, authorities
said.
