A small-town mayor is under police investigation after finally giving his wife a nice, big rock.

Make that his ex-wife. And the rock was a 20 tonne boulder, not a ring.

Dany Larivi re, the mayor of Saint-Th odore-d Acton, east of Montreal, told a French news station that he had dropped the boulder off on his ex-wife s lawn early Sunday morning. The rock is spray-painted Happy Birthday, Isa XX and topped with a big pink bow.

I had to do something so she d leave me alone, he toldTVAMonday morning. That s the biggest rock she ll ever get in her life.

Larivi re was unavailable for comment Monday afternoon.

Quebec Police told theTorontoStarthey were still deciding whether criminal charges could be laid, after Larivi re apparently refused to remove the boulder.

It s a gift. It s hers now, Larivi re said. I did it in the middle of the night. It was a surprise.

He joked that his ex-wife, Isabelle Pr vost, had always wanted a big rock, quipping that this one was between 18 and 24 carat-tonnes.

Pr vost called police to file a complaint after discovering the delivery Sunday morning.

The investigation is open, said S ret du Qu bec spokesperson Sgt. Val rie Bolduc. She said police are considering laying charges of harassment or mischief, as well as possible highway-code violations.

The parents of Larivi re s ex-wife described the incident as disgusting and her mother toldThe Canadian Pressthat their daughter was too upset to grant an interview.

In his own interview with a local newspaper, Larivi re boasted that police stopped him as he transported the boulder with a front-end loader. He owns a small excavation company in Saint-Th odore-d Acton.

They checked my papers, everything was in order, and they followed me and were there at the scene, he toldLa Voix de L Est.

Larivi re said he spent a substantial amount of money during the divorce in order to share custody of their children and added Pr vost has been harassing him.

The couple has been separated three years.
