SPRING HILL, FL -- Clarence Massat took issue with a power company crew working near his yard, so he kicked and beat on one of their trucks, deputies said.
The crew, with the Withlacoochee River Electric Company had to work on an area next to Massat's home at 12170 Coronado Drive. After speaking to Massat, the crew began work.
