DENVER (CBS4) ? Call him Larry the truck driver. Larry Plooster. An average American, no Colorado criminal record, is now facing a felony charge and possible prison time for going onto city property and cutting down what one expert says were weeds.

"I think this is totally ridiculous" Plooster said.

Plooster, a 49-year-old UPS driver, lives in Fort Lupton. He and his wife bought a two-story home next to the Coyote Creek golf course, a municipal course. While Plooster is not a golfer, he says he paid a premium for a lot with a view of the 13th green. But in recent years, undergrowth around a nearby pond began to obscure the Plooster's view of the green.
