What should of just been another sunny day in Florida turns out to be another bizarre story to add to the long list of things that seemingly make Florida known. WFLA.com details disturbing story of Land O’ Lakes citizen Gregory Landaker deciding that using his chainsaw would be more effective than words over a dispute over shrubs.
The alleged suspect, Gregory Landaker, was using a chainsaw to cut the shrub down and was dragging the branches for disposal.
The alleged victim, Jeffrey Zlocki, arrived on scene and observed that “his bushes” were being removed.
Zlocki went and “hugged” the shrubs, according to the sheriff’s office, to keep them from being cut down.
As Landaker resumed cutting the branches with the chainsaw, the victim was struck by the blade, causing a deep laceration to his left hand.
Now I know people are passionate about things, but I don’t think lawn care would be at the top of the list, certainly not to the point of slicing your neighbor like a piece of steak. Luckily the victim Jeffrey Zlocki, went to the hospital with only injuries to his left hand. This story is just another reminder of why Florida might just not be the place to retire.
