Man accidentally shoots self at gun show
EAST HAMPTON, N.Y., Jan. 20 (UPI) -- A New York state man whose lawn ornaments include a 6-foot hot dog statue said he will appeal convictions related to the upkeep of his property.
Rian White, 53, of East Hampton, said the 30-year-old statue was at the heart of complaints from neighbors and town officials about the appearance of his antique-cluttered lawn, the New York Post reported Tuesday.
White, an unmarried father of one son, said an East Hampton town court cleared him of an illegal signage charge related to his yard decorations but handed down five misdemeanor convictions stemming from the state of his yard. He said he plans to appeal.
"I'm not a slob," White said. "I'm a collector."
