Sick person in Oakville stringing line to decapitate riders

CBC News said:
A Calgary man who claimed his neck was sliced by barbed wire on a popular mountain biking trail west of the city and then asked for financial donations online has turned himself in after RCMP issued an arrest warrant.

Cochrane RCMP said Friday they have charged Stelianos Psaroudakis, 37, with fraud under $5,000 and public mischief after investigating his claims of being injured in the West Bragg Creek area.

Earlier in the day, RCMP had encouraged Psaroudakis to turn himself in. He later showed up at the detachment in Cochrane.

Insp. Lauren Weare said Psaroudakis was genuinely injured earlier this month, but police believe he lied about how it happened to officers and the public.

"He did come in contact with wire, but he was riding an ATV at a different location at a different time," she said.
Weare said Psaroudakis suffered the injuries on private property where he was an invited guest.

"The injuries are legitimate, absolutely, but not in the manner that he reported," she said.

"There was no intentional putting up of barbed wire across the bike trail to hurt or injure cyclists."

I believe that you're thinking of the kid who, with his friend, went through a break in the fence with their dirtbikes and went riding in Chassel's (sp) Pit, way back when. The owners kept fixing the fence and maintained the "no tresspassing" signs, but people kept knocking down the fence. This place could be seen from Queen/Highway 7 just west of Dixie Rd. He crashed among the rocks, broke his neck, and became a quadriplegic. The family sued and won a judgment for $2.5M but figured that wasn't enough, so they appealed. They lost. Got nothing. Never should have one in the first place. I lived walking distance away from it when it happened.

IIRC the family had to sell their home to pay their legal bills.

Point: Trespassing is wrong. Respect other people's property. You have no right to use someone else's property without permission just because it suits your needs. If you buy a toy it's your responsibility to find a legal place to play with it.

Point: Booby traps, poisons, snares, trip wires to guns, land mines etc are totally indiscriminate. There are countless examples of risks to first responders, innocent people or wildlife. Use legal action to deal with the problem.
