A Twin Falls, Idaho, man who tried to repossess a riding lawnmower from a couple last Wednesday faces felony charges of attempted grand theft and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Police said Erik R. Jonsson cooked up a plan to have two men he hired tell the woman using the mower that they had hit her pickup. When the woman went into the house to tell her husband, Jonsson hopped on the lawnmower and started driving away. Jonsson told police he stopped when he noticed that the mower had the wrong serial number. He said he feared for his life after he was confronted by the woman’s husband, so he pulled his gun. Jonsson said he is the owner of an auto sales business and had repossessed cars in the past. He expected trouble at the residence and brought the extra men with him, but said they didn’t do their job right.
