Construction is quite noisy, which can be frustrating to listen to. However, it’s not always the driver who generates the noise. One enraged man didn’t care and discharged his revolver at two dump truck drivers in an attempt to force them to be quiet.
Tennessee man fires shots at dump truck drivers because they were loud
The Carter County Police Department in Tennessee arrested a furious man who used a revolver to frighten dump truck drivers. Two men at the Carter County Landfill heard bullets on Landfill Road, which seems like a noisy street to live on.
According to WJGL, the two drivers paused in front of a man’s home to converse. They had been there for less than a minute when multiple bullets were fired in their direction.
One driver reported that the day before, he was on Landfill Road when a man raced into the road, hopped into his vehicle, and threatened him.
The man sat on his truck’s window, threatening to shoot drivers who continued to hit Jake’s brakes in his neighborhood. He recognized the same man, who was holding a revolver after six rounds had been fired.
Deputies headed to the 100 block of Landfill Rd to locate the man. They discovered six shot casings near the residence of 47-year-old Thomas Gambrel.
Gambrel stated that he ran outside and fired the bullets out of rage because the trucks were too loud. He also said he told them to stop. Now he faces two counts of aggravated assault.
