New Hampshire Man Arrested For Shooting At A Tree With 9 Guns
A New Hampshire man was arrested for shooting at a tree with 9 guns! That can’t just be a simple mistake if you’re using 9 different guns!
Don’t go chasing waterfalls and don’t go shooting at trees in the woods. Nothing good can come from it and you’ll just find yourself in some trouble like this guy in Brentwood, New Hampshire. He was arrested after being found shooting in the woods around 11:30pm on Monday night near North Road and Route 101 close to the wildlife management zone.
Did A New Hampshire Man Shoot Trees With 9 Guns?
Law enforcement is not releasing the identity of the man at this time but he is now facing charges over the incident. Lt. Justin Doty of the Brentwood Police Department tells WMUR regarding responding officers, “He came upon an abandoned vehicle. Upon checking the abandoned vehicle, he heard what he believed to be gunfire.” That’s when the officer called for backup and when another officer arrived they both heard the sounds that were believed to be gunshots. They reportedly sounded like rapid fire or something from an automatic firearm.
Doty tells WMUR, “Which then caused them to request the assistance of multiple other agencies until they could figure out what exactly was going on. Upon setting up the perimeter, they were also able to learn who the individual in question was. So they were able to make contact with them by phone. Also, using the PA system on the cruiser to call him out of the woods. “He was shooting a small tree in the ground around the tree. It is not illegal to shoot in there. However, based on the totality of the circumstances, the timing and everything else involved, that’s where the charges were derived from.,” Doty tells WMUR. Police found 9 guns on him during the incident. Nine! Doty says he’s looking at charges for reckless conduct, disorderly conduct, and more charges are expected to come at a later time. Police say he was alone in the woods at the time and he is not connected to the abandoned vehicle that was found.
It seems like there have been a lot of stories recently regarding people getting in trouble for shooting at targets for practice. One was in a residential neighborhood, at least this guy went off into the woods! Police say there is no threat to the public in connection with the incident. The identity of the man has still not been released publicly.
5 of the Craziest Cringeworthy Crimes Ever Committed
While committing crimes may seem black and white (you either broke the law or you didn’t), there are certainly some crimes that are dumber than others. Sometimes it’s the crime itself that’s wild, other times, it’s the people committing said crimes. These are 5 of the craziest, cringeworthy crimes ever committed.
Crimes can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. However, it takes a very unique individual, a case study if you will, to commit some of these outrageously dumb crimes. Years ago, these criminals would have been featured on Spike TV or one of those America’s Dumbest Criminal shows. Today, I’m not sure if those shows are around…and I’m certain Spike TV isn’t around anymore. That’s a story for another time.

Craziest Crimes
Crimes can happen for a number of reasons. They may happen out of necessity. They could also happen on accident. These crimes, however, do not fall into those categories. These crimes are different. None of these would accidentally happen. They also aren’t a matter of life or death. There’s no ethics quiz here, or any matters of ‘would you steal bread to support your family?’ These crimes, and criminals, aren’t straight up cringeworthy.
While all of these crimes are crazy and certainly cringeworthy, they also make for excellent conversation pieces. That’s why I’ve gone and found five examples of the wildest stories that Dave and Chuck the Freak have talked about and made a list highlighting the best of the best. Let’s be honest…what’s better than reading a story about one of the craziest crimes ever committed? Or, watching Dave and Chuck the Freak talk about some of the dumbest crimes ever committed? Personally, I’m going with the funny storytellers.
They add their own two cents and perspectives on these stories that nobody else could provide. Not even those talking heads on the dumbest criminal shows. Am I the only one who remembers those? I feel like they were a staple on TruTV or VH1, but now all I can find on TruTV is Impractical Jokers, which is awesome but…you get it. Let’s not delay! Here’s the list!
