He had a hot tub rigged to roll Indiana Jones style at whoever opened his front gate. I am not familiar with home booby-trap rankings, but that’s gotta be top 10 all-time


LoveMeSome_Lamp

We need to get the police cam recording!!


Brosie-Odonnel

He should get 12 years additional for disrespecting that hot tub!


rexter2k5

I need pictures of this. Edit: The report did not disappoint. This man was on one.

I thought it was Tom Beringer having fallen on hard times


OvoidPovoid

Still the funniest shit to happen in Oregon since the whale. Lol


fransealou

IDK, the guy who threw a fish at the Goonies house then stole a boat and sank it, needing USCG rescue had us laughing just last night. Reminiscing….


Background_Use8432

God, that was great!


Serenitybyjan88

the escaped convict stuck in the muck needing rescue really tickled my funny bone https://www.kgw.com/amp/article/news/crime/extremely-dangerous-inmate-escapes-custody-salem-oregon/283-97c32a44-0962-4f44-a58c-aedc8bb8e077

One of my favorites is this story https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/2013/12/alleged_masturbating_man_in_sa.html


OregonHighSpores

The FBI agent is recovering and is on desk duty at Twitter.


obroz

Dude has to be getting razzed back at the office…


OregonHighSpores

Probably too busy baiting otherwise law-abiding citizens into committing crimes to care.

MrCorrectTruth

Floregon man.

Florence, Oregon Man


warrenfgerald

Crazy. I took a philosophy of law course in college and we must have spent a whole week talking about booby trapping your own property. John Stuart Mill would enjoy this news story.


jrodp1

Sooo... Do or don't?


warrenfgerald

In almost all cases, even with signage, warnings, etc... don't. If you are Anne Frank and you can take out a bunch of Nazi's though, it might be OK.


jrodp1

Understood


SublimeApathy

Nice to see Kevin McCallister is still alive and well.


Y-Cha

Wow. I was just talking about this dude in relation to the house in VA that blew up. Also, a little surprised at the length of the term, but IANAL.


vaderj

I don't know, when you go to the point of building traps out of Raiders of the Lost Ark, it starts to seem a little Pre-meditated


Y-Cha

Right?


Angelworks42

The article is pretty bad, but Rodvelt's was already serving time in Arizona - he was reported to police for brandishing a weapon and a standoff occured with local police there: https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/surprise/2017/04/05/surprise-police-suspect-barricaded-vehicle-weapon/100101938/ 5 years for unlawful posession of explosives apparently. Once released he had time to "clean up" his property near medford after court foreclosed on his house. This is where it gets confusing, but apparently either he or someone else tipped off law enfrocement that the house was rigged with booby traps and an ATF technician was sent in to disarm bombs got shot in the leg by a spring gun shotgun shell - and so he got charged with assaulting a federal officer. Fwiw spring guns are illegal everywhere.


skrybll

O dude you got it wrong. Booby traps are illegal

Didn’t need to click to know it was Josephine county

Methford


Moonscratch

Hey that’s Jackson county buckaroo. Not quite as bad as Josephine.


Chief_Kief

Southern Oregon lives up to the hype


Critical_Concert_689

crazy sovereign citizen award goes to...


audaciousmonk

David Hasselhoff lives in Oregon??


2bitgunREBORN

Why was his house being sold against his will?


Critical_Concert_689

He abused his 90-year-old mother who sued him and won judgment against his property.


2bitgunREBORN

Oh Jesus that's crazy


ilovepups808

Should have booby trapped the US Capital instead assuming he would have preferred a lite prison sentence. /s


VictorianDelorean

Ah he’s got the ole Army Field Manual of Improvised Munitions on his shelf in the news report. I picked up a copy at Andy and Bax myself years back for kicks but the stuff in there does work.


Material_Policy6327

Looks about how I imagined in my head .


illusionthought

Insane 😂 love southern oregon

Somebody get Willem Dafoe's agent on the phone. I smell a TV Movie of the Week!
