UNIONTOWN, Pa. -- A self-proclaimed Civil War buff now faces a felony charge for accidentally firing a 2-pound cannonball through the wall of a neighbor's home.

William Maser, 54, of Georges Township, was charged with reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct for the incident Sept. 2. Authorities on Thursday added a felony count of discharging a firearm into an occupied structure, before Maser waived his right to a preliminary hearing on all charges.

Maser has acknowledged firing a homemade cannon from his yard about 6 p.m. that day. The ball ricocheted and hit the house about 400 yards away.

Police said nobody was hurt by the cannonball, which slammed through a window and a wall before landing in a clothes closet.
Felony charges?!?! man that has gotta bite...
