Michael Croissant, 44, of Mongaup Road in Monticello, was charged with first-degree reckless endangerment.
Police were called to the Coliseum after receiving several 911 calls of intoxicated youths at a rave concert there. While they were at the scene of as many as 100 intoxicated youths between the ages of 14 and 18, police said Croissant attempted to land a Bell 407 on a grassy area on the side of the Coliseum.
The landing had to be aborted due to pedestrians walking in the area. He returned and landed on the grassy area where at least 20 pedestrians were walking. No one was hurt when the helicopter landed, police said, but the intoxicated youths in the area were transported to several hospitals for treatment.
Croissant was arrested and his helicopter was seized following the 11:45 p.m. incident.
