Timothy Florence, 53, was arrested on Sunday by Montgomery County sheriff’s deputies after he allegedly shot his neighbor with a handgun.

He was later booked into jail and charged with attempted murder.

Deputies who saw the video said it showed the victim blowing the cut grass off his property as Florence blew it back toward him with the leaf blower. Florence also reportedly pointed the leaf blower at the victim, blowing air at him.

The victim then began mowing in Florence’s direction, almost hitting his leg and causing him to step aside and blow air at the victim again, the court documents allege.

Florence then went behind the mower to the other side of the victim, drew a handgun from his holster and shot the victim, according to authorities.

Police interviewed Florence’s wife, who said she was watching TV in their home when she suddenly heard a gunshot. She said she went to the front door and saw the victim leaning over the mower as Florence walked toward her and said, “Get in the house, I just shot [the victim].”

Florence’s wife reportedly told deputies she felt the shooting was in self-defense. Florence himself agreed.

The OT has solves many lawn mowing disputes over the years, I don't see why this joint can't lend its expertise to this case.

To be fair, the guy who got shot brought a lawn mower to what he believed was a leaf blower fight, but ol' baw changed the rules mid-blow.

This may not fit the story, but I can't pass up a chance to use it:
