A Man Tore Down His House with an Excavator After His Wife Said Their Marriage Is Over

This guy is a HOME WRECKER . . . LITERALLY.

 

A 48-year-old man in Pennsylvania named Erik Pierwsza came home on Tuesday, after drinking all night . . . and his wife was NOT happy.

 

She told him their marriage was over . . . they yelled at each other . . . and he said, quote, “If it’s over, I’ll tear the house down.”

 

He went outside, climbed into an excavator, and began tearing into the house while his wife and two daughters were still inside.  The wife called 911.

 

Fortunately, the police showed up before anyone could get hurt . . . but the damage to the house was pretty significant.  A big chunk of the roof was torn down, and experts say the structural integrity is in question.

 

Erik is now facing several charges, including causing a catastrophe, reckless endangerment, and disorderly conduct.  His wife is planning to seek a protection-from-abuse order as well.
