Baby, I Love You So Much, I'd Torch Your Boyfriends Truck

From the Morning Sentinel

VASSALBORO -- A Vassalboro man was arrested early Wednesday morning in the torching of a neighbor's truck.

Courtney Damien Shea, 25, of Vassalboro, was arrested and charged with several offenses, including arson and aggravated criminal mischief, police said. He was arraigned Wednesday, police said.

Vassalboro Fire Chief Eric Rowe said firefighters were called to Robert Jurdak's Getchell's Corner Road home just after 2 a.m. On arrival, Rowe said, first responders found the green 1995 Ford F-150 pick-up truck in flames.

"The vehicle was torched," Rowe said Wednesday morning.

Angela Burke, Jurdak's girlfriend, said the truck was fine when she went to bed at 10 p.m. Tuesday. Hours later, she said, Jurdak "woke up and was yelling, 'My truck's on fire!' "
Burke said she dated Shea, but the couple broke up several months ago.

I don’t know how Miss Burke DOESN’T get back together with Mr. Burke. I mean, burning the new boyfriend’s truck is how a Maine man professes his love for “his woman.”

This has reality show written all over it. Move over Keeping up with the Kardashians and Rock of Love… “MAINE LOVE” starring Courtney Damien Shea and Angela Burke is coming to VH1 this summer to be overplayed. Though, I feel the show will not be able to keep up after the thrilling opening episode when Shea burns a truck. I mean, I guess he could tattoo his whole body with Angela’s name, but it really wouldn’t live up to the shock value of burning a truck in the premier episode.

Today’s lesson in love and relationships: When a relationship is over, it’s not really over until you’ve burned the new boyfriend’s truck.
