Police: Man shot lawn mower that wouldn't start

A 56-year-old Milwaukee man is accused of shooting his lawn mower because it wouldn't start.

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 Friday.

      I'M ASSUMING HE WAS ARRESTED BECAUSE HE WAS INTOXICATED AND NOT BECAUSE HE SHOT HIS LAWN MOWER BUT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE IS GETTING SIX YEARS AND THREE MONTHS IN JAIL, THAT SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME FOR INTOXICATION CHARGES.

      Too bad he wasn't in Texas… this would have been acceptable - the lawnmower was on his property! Go Guns!

      Not sure why Lilly's picture is there. She should use that Hoover to suck the fat off her large self. As for mower guy, discharging a firearm w/in city limits is illegal in most places. Maybe he's a "townie".

      It says he "Faces" up to 6 years.
      #1-He was intoxicated
      #2-In possession of an illegal weapon
      #3-Mad enough to discharge the weapon
      STOP HIM NOW BEFORE HE SHOOTS A LIVING PERSON!
      Boy some of you people are stupid!

You know some people…don't take no shit, maybe if they did, they'd have half a brain left!!!" The Dead Kennedys off of their *Give me Convenience or Give me Death* CD LISTEN TO THEM!

      Reminds me of a song by the Dead Kennedys from like 20+ years ago….

      Some clown in Sacramento was dragged into court
      He shot his lawn mower it disobeyed it wouldn't start
      Might makes right it's the American way
      They fined him 50 dollars and sent him on his way
      You know some people don't take no shit
      Maybe if they did they'd have half a brain left

      Re: DaBitchIzIndakrazihouze – You suck.

      Really f-cking annoying how you used so many Z's, possibly to give a sense of being 'drunk'. Either way you are a big pile of fail.

      What a dunbshit. You can't do that unless you live in the country. In most populated areas you are ONLY allowed to fire a weapon in self defense.

      55

      The charge isn't because the guys an idiot for getting drunk and shooting his lawnmower but because he did it with a SHORT BARREL Shotgun-something that is not legal. Also something that's a felony. If it was just the misdemeanor for disorderly conduct because he shot the mower with a legal gun this wouldn't be so blown up.

      This guy sounds awesome.
      More people should be shooting inanimate objects.
