QUIRKY WORLD ... Sap jailed for treemendously dangerous felling

USA: A Pennsylvania man who believed sap from a tree next door was ruining his car chopped the tree down, causing the tree to crash into an apartment building he owns, damaging it so badly it had to be condemned.

Five others who lived in the building are now homeless.

Raymond Mazzarella, 51, has been in Luzerne County jail on reckless endangerment and other charges following the incident in Pittston Township. He is also charged with aggravated assault after allegedly getting into a fight with a neighbour.
