A Montclair man -- charged in a bizarre plot to shoot at drivers on Vermont highways -- is now accused of attempting to kill his mother. Christopher Greene, 41, was turned in to Montclair Police by his mother, Kathleen, last July, when she discovered a .223 caliber rifle and a notebook outlining his Vermont shooting plan, with a reference to killing her, reports today's Star Ledger:
In July, Greene's 78-year-old mother, Kathleen, told officers she also found a receipt for the weapon, purchased at a New Haven, Vt., gun shop, as well as a phone book with what appeared to be a bullet hole and a written reference to killing his mother, authorities said at the time.
According to an affidavit in the case, Greene's notes suggesting sniper locations in Vermont also states, "Because my mother is now deceased, thanks to me, I need to know about informing her employer."
Greene will be formally arraigned on Monday. He is being represented by Alan Krauss, of Montclair.
Looks like there's trouble in River City!
