A Minnesota man is facing a gross misdemeanor charge after authorities alleged he placed a homemade spike device in his front yard to stop children from riding bicycles across his property on the way to a nearby park.

According to investigators, officers responded after a woman reported that a homeowner had been yelling at her children to stay off his lawn. She also told police she had discovered what appeared to be spikes hidden in the grass.

When authorities inspected the property, they reportedly found a homemade device consisting of a clear plastic strip fitted with dozens of three-inch screws pointing upward. Investigators alleged the object had been placed in the yard as a trap intended to discourage children from cutting across the property while riding their bikes.
