Ohio siblings face felony charges after 250-year-old walnut tree is chopped down.
An illegally felled black walnut tree estimated to be over two centuries old.Todd Jones, 56, and Laurel Hoffman, 54 allegedly illegally felled the centuries old black walnut in the Cleveland suburb of Strongsville on Sept. 2021 in order to sell it for lumber, according to a report from Cleveland Metroparks Police.
Jones reportedly became"defensive" after an officer told him that their records indicated that his mother-in-law had already shown them the tree stump and admitted that he and his sister had arranged to have it logged and sold for lumber. Further investigation found the tree was worth $28,814.74, and its replacement would cost $102,909.77.
"We suspect the tree was possibly over 250 years old. Given our urban setting and the threats to healthy tree growth, it is very uncommon to find a black walnut of this size," Gerling wrote in an email to NBC News.Cleveland Metroparks PD
