A 19-year-old upset about crashing his car proceeded to shoot and jump all over it, police in Lancaster County said.

Melvin F. Glick, of Akron Borough, fired five bullets at his Chevy sedan Sept. 17 after crashing into a utility pole and careening into a field, according to West Earl Township police.

The crash was reported around 7 a.m. on the 200 block of North Farmersville Road. No one was in the car when officers arrived, but police said they found five spent shell casings and muddy boot prints all over the hood.

Police said Glick admitted to damaging his car because he was very upset about crashing it.

Glick was cited with five traffic violations — careless driving, operated vehicle without insurance, accidents involving damage to unattended vehicle or property, immediate notice of accident to police, and disregard traffic lanes.

Glick was not charged with shooting the car, since he legally owned the shotgun he used and did not fire it in a way that put anyone else in danger, police told LancasterOnline.

Officer Jordan Byrnes, a spokesperson for West Earl Township police, told the news outlet “If somebody wants to damage their own property, they can.”
