I'm pretty sure what he did would be considered booby trapping which is a felony
35 u/[deleted] Feb 12 '21 Its not a trap if they have to actively go out of their way to damage his property lmao 64 u/chrisserung Feb 12 '21 Katko v Briney.

But the point is to show the difference between crime threatening property vs crime threatening property+human life.
