Who can blame him? LOL

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) -- A 56-year-old Milwaukee man is accused of shooting his lawn mower because it wouldn't start.

Keith Walendowski told police he felt he had a right to shoot his mower.

Keith Walendowski has been charged with felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while armed.

According to the criminal complaint, Walendowski says he was angry because his Lawn Boy wouldn't start Wednesday morning.

He told police: "I can do that, it's my lawn mower and my yard so I can shoot it if I want."

A woman who lives at Walendowski's house reported the incident. She says he was intoxicated.

Walendowski could face up to an $11,000 fine and six years and three months in prison if convicted.

A call to Walendowski's home went unanswered

sounds good to me, whats the problem?

She says he was intoxicated.

hearsay and besides that it is irrelevant.

felony possession of a short-barreled shotgun or rifle and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while armed.

I am curious as to why "the man" can't tell the difference between whether it was a shotgun or a rifle but can tell it is too short. I am guessing the disorderly charge is a way to dog-pile on the guy as he may have had a beer or two. What the heck, he is in the city where the beer that made Milwaukee famous is made.

And some bitch living in my house calls the law on me, she needs to find somewhere else to be by the time I make bail.
