MOROYAMA, Saitama -- A junior high school teacher who threw stones at the roof of a rice shop here, breaking a tile, was arrested after a police officer caught him in the act, law enforcers said.
The 49-year-old teacher, Wataru Shimizu, was arrested for damaging property. Police said six similar stone-throwing incidents had left the rice shop damaged, and they were investigating Shimizu’s involvement.
Shimizu said he threw the stones after becoming infuriated that a car belonging to the rice shop had been parked on neighboring land that he owned. “The rice-shop car was parked on my field without permission, and I got angry,” Shimizu was quoted by police as saying. “I also had pent-up feelings from school.”
Investigators said Shimizu, who reportedly had been drinking at the time of the incident, threw stones at the roof of the shop at about 1 a.m. Saturday, breaking one tile. A police officer on duty caught him and promptly arrested him.
