The man who used a Bobcat forklift to demolish his neighbour's fence last year has been convicted by a jury of criminal mischief. (Forkliftaction.com News #265).

The News-Press reported a Lee County Jury spent 15 minutes deliberating before Tim Trimble, 54, was convicted.

The neighbours had had a two-year dispute over the fence, which Trimble said hindered him from storing his boat and trailer in his backyard.

Trimble was sentenced to 36 months probation and unspecified restitution.
