Man Shoots Lawnmower with Sawn-off Shotgun

The 56-year-old man from Wisconsin was arrested after shooting his lawn mower in his garden because it would not start.
The Midwesterner, named as Keith Walendowski was charged by police in Milwaukee with disorderly conduct and possession of a sawn-off shotgun.
Amazingly enough…
He could face a fine of up to $11,000 and a maximum prison sentence of six-and-a-half years if convicted.
He was reported to have said: "It’s my lawn mower and my yard, so I can shoot it if I want." Some of those who witnessed the horticultural violence said that he appeared to have been drinking.
A helpful local retailer, Dick Wagner, of Wagner’s Garden Mart in Milwaukee said that Mr Walendowski may have difficulty getting his lawn mower repaired as: "Anything not factory recommended would void the warrranty." Thanks Dick, I’ll remember that for the next time.
