An 83 year-old Perry Township, Ohio man is facing charges of felonious assault, failure to comply with order or signal of an officer, resisting arrest and obstructing official business and the misdemeanors of failure to comply with order or signal of an officer, criminal trespass, driving under suspension and operating a vehicle at a small speed and impeding traffic after a Wednesday incident in which he mowed a neighbor’s lawn without permission and fled at a low rate of speed on his ride-on until responding officers caught up with him, the Canton Repository reports.
It’s not the first time the unidentified codger was caught trespassing on another neighbor’s property to mow the grass as last August after cops had specifically warned him not to do so. That incident ended less acrimoniously as the suspect was fined $50 and sentenced to 30 days in jail – which it’s not clear whether it was suspended – after pleading guilty to misdemeanor trespass.
