After a celebrity chef who owns a home in Brooklyn with solar panels was reportedly irritated that his neighbor’s seven-story high silver maple tree was blocking the sunlight, police arrested him for poisoning the tree.
As The New York Daily News reports, Adam Harvey, 33, the owner of the Gowanus restaurant Bar Salumi and a contestant on “Top Chef” in 2014, was arrested on May 15 after neighbors discovered him drilling 11 holes into the trunk of the tree on April 30; prosecutors believe a jug on the ground seen on cellphone video of Harvey contained the herbicide Roundup. A judge also barred Harvey from approaching the tree’s owner.
