A North Carolina landscaper found himself in the weeds after allegedly throwing a large party at a previous customer’s home.
According to the Union County Sheriff’s Office, 37-year-old Michael Brown is charged with hosting “several hundred people” at a Weddington residence on June 21, a property where he had once worked as a landscaper.
Authorities report that Brown allegedly organized this large gathering while the homeowners were away on vacation, even collecting an entrance fee that he “then pocketed.”
Deputies, responding to multiple noise complaints, arrived at the scene and encountered Brown, who initially claimed to be the homeowner. When officers expressed skepticism, Brown revised his statement, asserting that the home belonged to his grandparents, police stated.

Brown was subsequently taken into custody and charged with alleged breaking and entering, injury to real property, obtaining property under false pretenses, second-degree trespassing and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
He was booked into the Union County Detention Center, where he “was specifically told he was a guest [at the jail], not a resident, and ordered not to throw any parties in our phone cell while trying to secure a bonding company,” the press release said.
Brown has since been released from jail on bond.
