REDDING, Calif. - A former Redding landlord is in hot water today after recent Reddit posts he made were shared across the app.

Charles Pierce is a 70-year-old former landlord of the Manzanita Manor Apartments in Redding. Pierce says he was fired from his role after his reddit posts came to light.

Pierce told Action News Now that under a now-deleted account, he posted that he received mail-in ballots of four previous tenants at the Manzanita Manor Apartments.

In a post to Reddit, Pierce claimed that he used all of the four ballots to cast votes for former President Donald Trump, and to vote “no” on all rent control and school bond measures in Shasta County.

    In a post to Reddit, Pierce claimed that he used all of the four ballots to cast votes for former President Donald Trump, and to vote “no” on all rent control and school bond measures in Shasta County.

    But, Pierce says he didn’t actually do what he posted.

    In a statement, he said he “did not engage in any illegal activities”, adding that his posts were hyperbole, and that he was “too good” at inflaming and angering his audience.

    He says the situation has been “blown out of proportion” and is “so bogus.”

    So bogus. Wait, is that the word of the…

    Trolling as a defense for admitting a major crime. So bogus.

    Bogus.

    So bogus.
