NEWARK, Del. (AP) — Police have arrested a Newark area landlord who allegedly rammed his Hummer into a renter’s house, claiming the tenants were behind on their rent.

New Castle County Police spokesman Cpl. Trinidad Navarro said the 30-year-old landlord crashed the SUV into a home on Lute Court in Harmony Woods about 3 a.m. Thursday.

A 50-year-old woman and her 53-year-old husband sleeping inside and were jolted awake by a loud crash and the house shaking.

Officers learned the man was the landlord and went to his home and saw the damaged Hummer with a pine branch stuck in the front bumper.

The landlord was charged with endangering the welfare of those inside, reckless driving and harassment, among other charges.
