A man has been charged with assault after fortifying his Oregon home "like a scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark".
FBI agents found a circular hot tub linked up to a tripwire, a fortified front door and animal traps laid around the property, local media report.
But they were not able to prevent a wheelchair, fitted with a fishing line and shotgun bullets, from firing on and hitting an agent in the leg.
Gregory Rodvelt, 66, was reportedly trying to prevent his home being sold.

Yeah, that's definitely a lot of crazy. Gotta give him credit for being inventive.

Wouldn't surprise me if other charges are pending at the state level - the statutory language may vary, but a lot of states have laws against setting mantraps (in TX, it's "mechanisms") which are capable of inflicting serious injury or death.
