YUMA COUNTY, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - A man who allegedly shot at a Yuma County Sheriff's Office (YCSO) helicopter earlier this month is facing new charges.

According to YCSO, he was originally facing three counts of first-degree attempted murder, but those charges were not filed.

Instead, he is facing seven counts, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, endangerment and disorderly conduct.

The man was arrested on June 13 after he allegedly shot at a YCSO helicopter, carrying three deputies, while on routine aerial patrol.

He will be back in court next Monday, June 30, to be formally charged.
