Vengeful Landlord

Yet another dumbass with a gun:
A 74-year-old Maine man was scheduled to appear in court Monday to face charges in the shooting deaths of two of his tenants after a possible dispute over where they parked their cars during a snowstorm, state police said.

James Pak was arrested at about 10 p.m. Saturday after a three-hour standoff at his home in Biddeford, about 15 miles south of Portland, police said. He is charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of Derrick Thompson, 19, and Thompson's 18-year-old girlfriend, Alivia Welch. He was being held at the York County Jail in Alfred.

...Before the shootings, Biddeford police were called to Pak's home over a dispute between him and his tenants over cars being parked in the driveway during the snowstorm, state police spokesman Steve McCausland said. Biddeford banned street parking during the night so city crews could plow the streets.

...Neighbors told the Press-Herald that Pak was known for his short temper.
