A Florida man was arrested after he allegedly threatened his neighbor then drove his sports car onto the sidewalk and hit him.
ABC Local 10 reports that Ben Siegel struck his neighbor Robert Hernandez with his green sports car, injuring his ankle.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Hernandez said he was walking along Northwest 49th Avenue when he heard a car rev its engine and then heard Siegel, who was driving, yell, “You’re dead.”
Police said Siegel struck Hernandez from behind with his car and then drove home.
A witness told police that he heard a car revving its engine and saw a green Viper hit Hernandez and keep going. The witness said he watched the Viper pull into the garage of Siegel’s home and then saw Siegel come back outside, look down the street and walk inside his house.
Siegel faces charges of aggravated battery. He also faces charges of causing bodily harm and battery on a law enforcement officer after he spat on an officer while he in custody. Just a week prior, Siegel says another neighbor, hot Hernandez, sprayed Swastikas on the hood of his car.
