Rick Grimes Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7526628.stm A 56-year-old man from the Midwestern US state of Wisconsin has been arrested after shooting his lawn mower in his garden because it would not start. Keith Walendowski was charged by police in Milwaukee with disorderly conduct and possession of a sawn-off shotgun. He could face a fine of up to $11,000 and a maximum prison sentence of six-and-a-half years if convicted. Police officers said Mr Walendowski had told them: "It's my lawn mower and my yard, so I can shoot it if I want." Police found the shotgun, a handgun and a stungun, as well as ammunition, when they detained Mr Walendowski in the basement of his house. Witnesses told police that he appeared to have been drinking. The lawn mower was found sitting outside Mr Walendowski's house, which he shares with his mother, with the rubbish on Friday. A local retailer said that Mr Walendowski might now have difficulty getting his lawn mower repaired. "Anything not factory recommended would void the warranty," said Dick Wagner, of Wagner's Garden Mart in Milwaukee. just when you thought the story couldn't get any more stupid...

I thought that was kinda cool, as if the journo was adding that bit in for a wind-up. But maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Some clown in Sacramento was dragged into court He shot his lawnmower It disobeyed, it wouldn't start Might makes right, it's the American way They fined him $60 and sent him on his way You know, some people don't take no sh*t Maybe if they did they'd have half a brain left" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
