HIALEAH, Fla. - A Hialeah man was captured on surveillance video Wednesday morning shooting out the tires of two utility trucks after workers parked in front of his home.

The incident was reported shortly after 11 a.m. at 620 SE Fifth Place.

Hialeah police Sgt. Carl Zogby said AT&T trucks were hanging lines on utility poles on the residential street when Jorge Jove, 64, got upset and told the workers to move away from his home.

Zogby said the workers told Jove that they would move as soon as possible, but needed to finish their work first and that they were parked on a public street. Zogby said Jove then went into his home and started shooting at the trucks.

Cellphone video taken from one of the workers shows a man, believed to be Jove, shooting out the tires of one of the trucks.

Zogby said it's unclear whether Jove was also aiming for the workers.

"He flattened their tires. He shot into the bodies of the trucks. He shot out one of the radiators of the truck," Zogby said. "He seemed to be a quiet man, and something made him snap today."

Zogby said the workers did nothing wrong in the situation.

"They were on public access. They were working on utility lines. They have every legal right to do so," Zogby said. "Apparently, he got upset for some reason, went into his house -- they thought that was the end of that, but then he came out with a gun. They ran for their lives."

Nobody was injured.

"We're grateful nobody was hurt, and we're working with law enforcement in their investigation," an AT&T spokeswoman said in an email to Local 10 News.

Jove was arrested and charges are pending against him, Zogby said.

So this guy shoots multiple rounds into two trucks, then is witnessed shooting at a worker in the bucket, and gets out on a $30K bond?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

Jorge Jove, 64, who is a retired firefighter, was released from jail at 2:25 a.m. Thursday after posting a $30,000 bond.

Fuck him. I work electric utilities and deal specifically with trouble locations but so far have not had to get shot at. Have had a few guns pulled on me. Dude needs to go to the nut house or jail. Does not need to be on his own.

Florida...

Dumbass now will have those trucks sitting in front of his house longer with flat tires.

Oh no, not work trucks. Anything but work trucks.

Surprised the cops didn't shoot him, and he was nuts enough that I wouldn't have blamed them.

My friends and I pelted some AT&T guys with rocks when we were kids, while they blocked our alley. Garland cops showed up soon after and beat the shit out of us.

Jackasses like this only give libbies ammunition (pun intended) in their argument for more firearms restrictions.

That dude is probably a liberal...

[1carcrazyguy]

Ain't nobody got time for the utility truck to be parked out front. He was probably just suffering flashbacks from the last time he had to call to request service and ask about his AT&T bill.

In all fairness hes probably been waiting about 8 hours since the scheduled time they said they would be there to install his uverse.
