The_Munchmaster Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lazyphil Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 if basil fawlty had had a sawn off shot gun he would have used on his mini clubman rather than a tree branch when it broke down and he hadn't even been drinking!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkoktraveler Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 The guy's picture seems to be that of a sane man. Is he a Conservative Christian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunsanuk Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi, "It's my lawn mower and my yard, so I can shoot it if I want." I think the guy is right though. Why shouldn't he be able to do with his property whatever he wants as long as he is not using it to endanger others? Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
