*MKILETEWA HAPA NA FLORA LYIMO DESIGNER*
The mayor of a small Canadian town is under police investigation after dumping a 20-tonne, gift-wrapped boulder on his ex-wife’s driveway.
Dany Larivière, who is the mayor of Saint-Théodore-d’Acton, near Montreal, claims to have deposited the rock in Isabelle Prévost’s driveway in a bid to get her to stop harassing him.
Mr Larivière, who also owns an excavation company, sprayed the rock with fluorescent orange birthday greetings and topped it off with a pink bow.
A boulder topped with a pink ribbon and bearing the spray-painted message 'Happy birthday, Isa' sits in the driveway of Isabelle Prevost, in Saint-Théodore-d'Acton, Canada ;
Dany Larivière is the mayor of Saint-Théodore-d’Acton, a small town near Montreal;
‘I had to do something so she’d leave me alone,’ he told French TV station TVA.
‘She never had a rock big enough for her tastes, now she has one. That’s the biggest rock she’ll ever get in her life,’ he added, claiming the boulder was a ‘gift’
The pair, who split acrimoniously three years ago, have each accused each other of harassment.
After delivery of the rock, Ms Prévost told a local newspaper she had ‘feared for her life’ during her marriage to Mr Larivière.
The former couple shares custody of their two children, a 12-year-old boy and a nine-year-old girl, following a long and expensive court battle.
Mr Larivière delivered the boulder at 3am on Monday morning and was stopped twice by police who questioned why he was operating heavy construction equipment in the middle of the night.
He was allowed to continue after they checked his driver’s licence, insurance and registration.
In addition to facing charges of harassment and mischief, Mr Larivière could also be charged under the highway code.
