At least one member of RRT realized that Mr. Kelley had repeatedly directed a laser into the RRT member's eyes, causing injury. Eventually, members of RRT were able to locate and arrest Mr. Kelley near Southwest 4th Avenue and Southwest Jefferson Street. He was found to be in possession of a laser (photo).
Detectives followed up on this case, and wrote search and arrest warrants, which were reviewed and signed by a judge. This morning, Portland Police Bureau detectives served those warrants and arrested Mr. Kelley
Sounds like they caught him on the same day, but these specific charges were filed later. My guess is that the Portland police were persistent in ensuring these charges were pursued, because otherwise they're putting their officers at severe risk for blindness.
How did they know it was him? Did it take a month to track him down? Pretty impressive.

Lasers point both ways?
