Sounds like he was charged with felony stupidity: If you have an illegal sawed-off shotgun, don't go attracting attention to yourself by shooting at your lawnmower when you are drunk.
And it was the wrong tool for the job, too. For lawnmowers, I would go for choking.
Reminds me of a longmont colorado bar owner who got frustrated with his laptop and took it out back and shot it. Of course, he was arrested too.
Bucket of gasoline, and thow a match from a respectful distance. Yeah, the sawed off was a bit provocative.
In news:DbmdnUeOZZFuwBfVnZ2dnUVZ snipped-for-privacy@earthlink.com, HeyBub spewed forth:
The problem here is location, location, location It's legal here in Texas, 'specially after dark
In Indiana the charge would be felonious assholery.
This episode reinforces the maxim: Men get angry at THINGS. Women get angry at PEOPLE.
Shotgunning? No. AFAIK, all mowers are warranted up through .375 H&H.
