Eldery Man sets traps on bike trial.
LUBBOCK, Texas - A 62-year-old man is suspected of stringing wires at neck level across a popular bike path, as well as scattering nails, broken glass and rocks across the trail in a series of traps set because he wanted to protect the environment, police said.
"This could kill someone," said Dewayne Wallace, an avid cyclist who said his friend was cut across the neck by one of the wires and was thrown from his bike.
A grand jury was scheduled to review the case next week, to see if the man will face two third-degree felony charges of attempted aggravated assault with a weapon. Each count carries a maximum of 10 years in prison.
Detective Rene Martinez said he questioned the man about the traps set over at least a yearlong period, and the man told him he just wanted to protect wildlife.
"He just loves nature," Martinez said.
I think he may have seen to many Home Alone movies.

I remember a kid driving into a steel cable when I was young... the kid had a welt across his chest and the wind knocked out of him... we always road our Mini bikes on this path and the f@##$kin jerk who owned the property decided to wire it up across two trees... The guy never got prosecuted cause it was his land,,,in fact the cops took his minibike...
