Everyone knows the “get off my lawn” stereotype of the cranky, old dude.
A 39-year-old man in Minnesota named Kyle Steffen was arrested after he created a homemade SPIKE STRIP for his yard earlier this year, to keep neighborhood children off his lawn.
Officers noticed tire tracks from bikes in the yard and said it appeared neighborhood kids were riding through the yard as a shortcut to a park.
Kyle admitted to placing the device “to keep kids off of his lawn.”
He is charged with a misdemeanor, and could be looking at 180 days in jail or a $1,000 fine.
