Sheriff May Charge News Copter

Throughout the initial investigation, the KING-5 helicopter hovered over the scene where four Lakewood (WA) police officers were killed.

Twice the Pierce County Sheriff's office called the station and asked them to back off because the noise made it hard to hear and twice the copter flew away only to return a short time later.

Now in the the aftermath of the tragedy, the Sheriff's Department has forwarded information to prosecuters with the idea that the station could be charged with interfering in an investigation.
